Epson 2100

[Jim Ford]

I'm looking for an A3 printer and have been watching Ebay for a while.
There seems to be a fair number of Epson 2100s, which fetch a good
price.

Are there any issues with the 2100 (I believe it's the 2200 in the
U.S.)?

1) It clogs, lots of complaints about 2200s and clogging, yes someone
will right in and say there's never has, but it is an issue with this
printer.
2) Ultrachrome inks are excellent on matte papers, not so good on
photo type papers, kind of flat.
Otherwise it was the first good A3 printer from Epson. If the prices
is low go for it, otherwise look at the HP B9180, Epson 1900 or 2400,
or the Canon 9500.
