Question Which epson printer to buy?

I wanna get one to print my photos. I am wondering which one is good at a reasonable price for its quality. And also optional, can print up to A3 size. Please advise me.

Thanks in advance.

There are 2 models you can cosider if you are looking for printer from Epson only. The 1280 is dye base. It has vivid colour but the picture could fade away fast if you are not usiing good paper. A better on (the one I prepfer) is the 2100. It use pigment base ink. If you use proper Epson paper, the picture can last 50-75 yrs. The price of 2100 has dropped a lot. It costs less than 1k now. Both of them can print up to A3+ size.

Hi CIO,
I am looking to buy the 2100. Any idea where I could purchase it for just below 1k?
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend the Epson R310 which was released recently. But it can only print up to A4.

I saw it at the last PC show. It was selling at $990. Try to go to the next PC show (Comdex) I believe it will be on the coming weekend.
