I would suggest if you had the cash to look at the EPSON 3800? Prints on 17in rolls and takes 80mL cartridges so in the long run its going to be cheaper if you do alot of printing yourself rather than taking them to a lab.
Yup Ben, you are correct. I couldn't remember if the 2400 took rolls or not. I had considered the 3800 at one stage, but there's a Canon printer I was also considering (IPF 5000), which seems better quality and better value too (120ml buckets if memory serves me correct). This has now been replaced from memory, so I'm not too sure how the current range models compete. Epson is better as a general rule, except for they don't allow matte and gloss black in the damn printer at the same time...grr...
