Hi everyone! The Epson S9170 has been out for a short while now. I am wondering what everyone's experience is with this machine. We have a few S80 printers at our shop that is reaching end of life and we are debating on replacing it with the newer S9170 or the tried and true S80. I am always reluctant to get a new generation model. We had horrible experiences with the S70 when it came out, and was happy to see that the S80 corrected many of its flaws.
