Advantages: Good quality, large prints achieveable.

Disadvantages: Price of printer and general size.

Using the same printhead technology as the 800/850 this printer is a larger version. Capable of printing A2 with resolutions upto 1440dpi. If you have ever used an Epson then you`ll know the quality they can achieve but if you havent then you are missing out.
This printer is large and will not fit on your computer tables. They are twice the length of a standard A4 printer but if you are wanting to print larger pictures then you would expect it to be.
The prints can be done just as easily as any other printer but comes into its element when printing big pictures.
Really this is not for the average person and is only there for those who want it but if you have the money and like large prints then this would be your choice.
The inks are the same Epson inks with the bright colours and are supplied in bags in plastic cartridges capable of holding over 100mls of ink. This is over 7 times the amount of a normal A4 printer. If you dont mind re-filling then this printer is easy, as there are no sponges involved. The printer does last a long time with full cartridges.
Cleaning and storage is very easy and ink is hardly ever wasted.
This particular printer can be used for so many applications with various different non-Epson inks.
This proves how much of a favourite it is and proves that price competition is out there which is good news for us the consumer.
