If the difference is the same as the previous models (iP4000 and iP5000),
then the iP5200 will 'squirt' less ink from each nozzel, suggesting higher
resolution and perhaps lower ink usage. I bought an iP4000 after reading the
comparison with the iP5000 on Tom's Hardware. They claimed that the 4000 was
actually cheaper to run, using the same cartridges as the 5000. If this
bears true with the new models, the iP4200 might be the best buy.
By the way, the iP4000 is a fantastic printer for discs, plain and photo
paper. I've been using the cheaper Jetec inks from SVP and the print quality
is brilliant. The duplex printing is a nice paper saving bonus too.
I had always been an Epson fan, but no more!
