QTR-Quadtone RIP

Has the 1430 printer been discontinued by Epson?

 

I read that the Epson 2800, 3000, and perhaps the 3880 have been discontinued.  I wonder what the Epson printer "line" will look like in the future.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] 1430 for K6

 

  

I'm thinking of getting a 1430 for K6 printing. I haven't been able to find out how well it handles HPR  or Canson Rag. Are there any issues? I know that the smaller printers have their limitations on heavier papers.

 

As far as I know, the only obvious drawback is the margin needed to avoid banding. There seems to be nothing between the 1430 and the 2000 which is a difference of over $600. It doesn't look like the 2000 has a lot more to offer as a K6 printer.
