Two week ago I was two days in Epson DE. Main interest of lessons was 
technical parameters, setup and care of Pro printers - 5000-10000. I 
may say, that difference between Epson Stylus Pro 10000 and HP 5000 
is only 3 m of paper - the test which shows all parameters which MUST 
be set up to print in 100 % quality on Epson SP 10000. It is realy 
simple.
