Hi Paul:

Thanks for posting about the interview. I really enjoyed it. I checked the status of the R280 before my interview and it is still for sale on Epson.com for $99 new, and $44 as a refurb in the clearance center. The RX595 is very similar, but it is an all-in-one. Any of the Claria ink printers should perform similarly. The Epson 1400 is a step up though in size, which is nice.

All the best!

Andrew

Vistek have the R280 for $100 ... but the RX595 & RX680 will print CDs too - choices, choices :)

Update: "The Epson R280 also prints images and text directly onto ink jet printable CDs and DVDs"
