Hi folks,
Well, after all your helpful replies, I think I have persuaded 'the management' that the grass may not actually be all that much greener on the other side of the fence, and that we should keep our 'old' Epson Stylus Colour 600. Better the devil you know, etc.
Actually, it has given us very good service, apart from the time we used a ream of rather (too cheap!) poor paper and the head got furred up with paper fibres, which left streaks on the paper (though that can hardly be blamed on the printer!)! Easily cured by cleaning the surface of the head, using a strip of soft tissue soaked in IPA looped under the head and gently rubbed back and forth.
Print quality is good, fade resistance seems no worse than with any other ink-based medium, as far as I can tell.
Many thanks,
Phil
