Subject: Epson R1800 - large format printer - useful for PCB Photoplotting - UV blocking?

In reading through the group I have read in a few cases where it is
best to get a Photo Printer to make use of the UV inks (and to print
in yellow/cyan as opposed to black to get a truly opaque image).

I have been researching the Epson R1800 printer and wonder if any of
you have had success with this printer for printing on transparencies
to be used to expose PCB artwork and sensitized PCB's.

I currently have a Color LaserJet 5550dn and it has HORRIBLE black
coverage and is not opaque at ALL!

cheers,
