The Luminous Landscape has a first glimpse at the new high-end photo printer from Epson - the 4000.

It looks like a splendid piece of machinery, but the price tag of $1,795 will restrict me to salivating from the side lines. Plus, I'd have to start a saving account for the specific purpose of being able to afford the ink cartridges. While large and certainly long lasting, the price tag Epson has put on one 220ml cartridge (and remember - there's eight needed!) is clearly insane: $112.

I think I'll stick to my Epson 2200 instead. At least its ink costs are reasonable to a point where I won't have to fear that I can't pay my mortgage anymore...
