I have been thinking about purchasing one of these and I would like feedback from anyone who already owns one.

Do they make inks for it that can be printed on vinyl sheets for outdoor use if laminated or Frog Juiced.

What about POP Display posters or things of that nature.

If you own one, what things do you make to take advantage of the 13" x 19"+ size it can print?

Thanks in advance! [Big Grin]

amy the inks are not outdoor useable. these printer are good if you want to t-shirt tranfers with a heat press. 8.5 x 11 aint big enough to do shirts and most epsons are single color cartridge, which arent cheap but are better if you use more of one color then the others.

I have the 1270 (older version of 1280) and it is great for proof and things of that sort. I also have the Photo 2000P. This printer has pigmented inks which last quite a bit longer than other printers. It is also a bit slower but the quality is awesome. You may be able to print on some sort of coated vinyl then frog juice it but I have never tried it. In my opinion epson is the best desktop inkjet out there.

I just bought one after my Epson 660 went bad. I haven't used it for any of the applications that you described, but for larger presentations and INCREDIBLE photo color it's great!
It is a shame that it has a single color cartrige (about $40), the only other printer that I found with the large format and individual inks was one of the HP's. I really liked my E660 and didn't want to change brands just for the inks.
