As you can see, the items in the list are pretty much up-to-date. There is only one thing that I would like to have, and that's an A3+ photoprinter. I'm thinking about the Epson Stylus Photo R2400, of which I have read very favourable reviews. It uses pigment inks that give you prints that last a lot longer than prints made with dye inks. The Canon Pro 9000 is another great printer and a lot faster than the Epson. But before I make a definite choice, I need to see the printresults with my own eyes!
