Due to the dwindling availability of supplies, it was very much time to replace our still performing well 15+ year old Epson Stylus Photo R2880 with a similar or better quality printer to reproduce art prints on our archival textured paper. After a week of testing, I can say that the quality is excellent when compared side-by-side with the same print from the R2880 - even when comparing a "Maximum Quality" from the R2880 and a reproduction printed at "Standard" quality on the P706. While the individual ink cartridges are expensive they are almost 3 times the size of the R2880, and should therefore be more economical. Definitely a recommended buy if you are after super high quality.
