[Leica] Re: Epson 3800 whose GOT THEM now printing

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

This wedding photographer is perfectly happy printing on Sliver Rag for 
custom albums and custom prints with the R2400. I've seen 
pro results from both HP and Canon and do no think they're even close to 
Epson. Canon reps have been saying for years that they've 
surpassed Epson, well okay my 4x6 Canon dye sub is better than any 4x6 dye 
sub Epson printer :)

Now if anyone can give me advice on how to sew and bind my own Rag prints 
into a leather album, I'm all ears.
