I have five different printers at my gallery, models from Epson, Canon and HP, mostly used for teaching and producing large exhibition prints. But the printer that I have at home is an HP9180 which has been chugging along without problem since it first came out, producing very fine results.

Michael -
Do you do much black/white printing for yourself? I find myself so tickled with the quality I get from the HP that colour seems to be getting ever less attention.
I think I mentioned here, on LuLa, that I came across a plastic bag of A5 test prints the other day; it was so impressive, that I thought: wow, that´s a quarter of a box of A3+ Hahnemuehle! And just for tests!
The maths is as follows: from a single box of Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Bright White, I counted 63 test prints (A5), which is 63 divided by 4, equals 15.75 or, in reality 16 sheets out of a box of 50. I still have 3 sheets left. This means, at best, I have 31 good prints with possibly another two to come from that box of paper.
I wonder if anyone has worked out what a reasonable expectation for final prints might be, on a per box measurement?
