Colen: > Me, I'm waiting for the HP B9180, which previews suggest will blow the 2400 > away....Due any day now... I've been anxiously waiting lo these several months for that thing to come out ever since my girlfriend took the fancy fine-art digital printing course, and they had 2400s to work with. The 2400 made absolutely beautiful prints when it consented to work, but it didn't really like to feed the thick cotton-rag papers so beloved of the fine printing set, and there were apparently a few other annoying peculiarities. Their teacher, the apparently-well-known Stephen Johnson, said the printer he really loved these days was the pre-release HP B9180 which he'd been hooked up with for testing and comment. (Up with which he'd been hooked?)
