New Epson large format pigment printer announced in Japan

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Epson will start selling the PX-5000 in Japan in November. It uses the same
pigment inks as the R800 but will print up to A3 size (max 13"x44" ). In
comparison to the 2100/2200 the printing speed is about 3.5x faster and the
costs of consumables listed as 1/3 less. I couldn't read all the Japanese
but apparently it will print directly from RAW and Adobe RBG camera files.
