*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESS ***

I have a question about a printer I saw recently (actually a few questions).
The printer is the Epson JX-80 Color printer. I saw this printer in a store
retailing for $499. My questions are:

1) How good is this printer?  From what I could tell, it seemed to be pretty
   impressive. I have seen the Okimate color printers, but have heard about
   how fast the ribbon wears out, and the problem with paper.

2) How fast does the ribbon wear out? Are ribbons easy to find? How much are 
they?

3) Is $499 a reasonable price?

PLEASE send all responses thru the mail.
Thanx in advance
