Just had a heads up that Epson are going to instigate (another) massive price increase on October 1st, the notification I received was for large format printers, but can probably expect increases on the smaller ones, and inks and papers as well.
The price rises are significant, on the large format printers they range from £350-£1,960 increase on the existing prices... 26%-41% increases.
So, if you're thinking of upgrading to a new printer, or stocking up on ink or paper, now might be a good time.
