We have used the 1400, 7600 and now a 7900 series epson. I bought both of our printers on craigslist for $300 or under. Both with minor issues that we were able to fix or bypass. The 7600 I almost prefer, because it doesn't stretch out the film in the roll / feed direction. But you can compensate for it in accurip. You can go up to 24"w, but we output with 17" film. 7900 is great with the cheapo refill carts and a decent rip.
