Sample Photos from the new professional Epson Printers
Epson UK took a group of journalists to Paris in April to see their latest line up of professional printers. Most of us had been expecting an upgrade to the 2100/2200 for sometime and I must confess that when the R1800 was launched earlier in the year I thought this was it - not so (although the R2400 does look identical to the R1800).
