i have come to the realization over the pasrt week or so, that if i want to have any realistic expectation of making a living selling my art, i need a new printer...while we have a kickass printer, a hp cp1700d, it is not up to handling the requirements of the job for printing art and photography...it can't do true photo quality at 8 x 10 and larger, and worse yet, can't handle 13 x 19, let alone 13 x 44, use rolls of paper, and many other things...after looking around, i concluded i need an epson stylus photo 2200, and a good supply of paper...unfortunately i don't even have the $600 to $700 for the printer, or even a spare $200 or so for paper...i figure the only quick and painless solution is for me to hope that one of my loyal readers has a spare laying around that they would like to let me have, or better yet, feels like buying me one...so if any of you are desparately trying to think of how to spend all the excess money you have laying around, i suggest you use it to help out an aspiring artist, me.

Posted by: Angstman at January 19, 2004 02:24 AMHow about a trade? The printer, shipped at my expense, for a small piece of your artwork?
Just a thought.
