    Epson AM-C Range , any feedback?

    Hmm, thats pretty mad re: the warranty. I wonder if its a tactic to make sure everyone stays on a service (fixed ink click) plan. I'll have to have a test of some regular digi coated stocks on the machine, I'm really doubtful the ink would take, but always the optimist :)

    Options for coating?
