Printer is right next to a large room humidifier. But the wife and I
will be away from the home for about two months this summer. Ideas for
storage? I like the cover idea, but maybe i should flush the system
before i leave...is there a way to do that?

Trevor,
My long experience with non-OEM ink issues convinced me to use ONLY
Epson inks. CIS may give you problems. Get a Epson 3880 if you end up
making a lot of prints. Your ink cost will be much lower with the 3880
even with moderate use. In your climate you might consider a printer
cover and a jar of water. Also keep the paper in sealed containers to
maintain constant humidity.

I just bought an Epson R2880 that I will use almost exclusively for
printing digital negatives on Pictorico...talk about additional
expenses. But I love it. I did manage to get it dialed in with the
available paper here, and the prints are just short of mind blowing.
Living in the desert, I'm interested in the clogged printhead experience
to see what that's like. Maybe, just maybe, if I can get a small
portrait business going here on the compound, it might justify a
continuous ink system and that becomes less of a hassle? Thoughts?

some interesting thoughts of your own there Jim!
I don't print any of my own images anymore either. Most go online
only and any
prints for framing is done at a lab. I tired of dried up ink print
heads,
expensive ink carts, and new printer upgrades. I have a cheap inkjet
colour
printer that comes out once a year for New Years card and that's the
only time
it's used.
I was wondering this the other day.. how many of us have or still use
inkjet printers at home?
I used a really nice Canon 8x10 printer for a long time, then bought
the i9950 canon A3 printer, a bulk ink system and..
.. lot interest in it
The few digital images I print these days are done on RA4 from
digital, the film images are all RA4
and I confess, with a rather nice black and white darkroom, I still
find it so much quicker and easier to develop and print there than
from a PC
many others here abandoned their inkjets, or are they still in use,
heavy, light or otherwise?
