If they were the same price I would buy the Roland, its a proven machine and there is a lot of users that can give you good advice on it. Also tech support should be better with the Roland.

Here is a good article on the Epson: http://www.proprint.com.au/Review/116014,epson-stylus-pro-gs6000.aspx

Looks like the Roland inks will last alot longer then Epson but the Epson print quality seems higher.

Actually here is a question for you: What are you going to be using the machine for specifically? What applications are you going to focus on? Indoor, Outdoor, fine art, tradeshow graphics, etc..

Mostly what we do is high end wraps and banners.
Typical sign stuff.
Need a machine that dosn't drop any jets.
I had 4 printers, after 6 mounths they all dropped jets
no matter how much I paid.

I just want a reliable workhorse.

If wraps is a big part then Roland for sure is the one for you.
