Leslie, I originally bought this printer with the thought of selling reproductions (prints) of my paintings/drawings. At the time, it was the only printer in this price range that used pigment based inks instead of dye based inks. The largest size that it can print is 13" x 18".
I don't have a regular printer. When I print out forms, they too are archival, and take a long time to print. It takes over 30 minutes for this printer to produce a high quality 13" x 18" print on watercolor paper. This printer is definitely not for an office where many copies need to be turned out quickly.
Because of the high quality of the prints, I have incredible digital photos to work from. These photos are far better than the traditional film type photos, as long as you use a high quality digital camera.
I'm not familiar with the Epson 2200. Mine is the Epson 2000P.
