The doll that I have is the Mini Gem called Uyoo. I haven't really done much with her --- she does keep a pose well, but her joints are a little tight (they're supposed to loosen a bit the more she's moved and posed) --- but she mostly stays in her box.
As for prints and Epson inks: I have the R2400 (which I love despite that it's a behemoth) which prints like a dream, especially on Ilford paper. I wind up buying the ink sets off eBay --- it's usually cheaper than Epson's site --- and a least one of those vendors has his own website where he sells the inks as well for very nearly the same price as on eBay. :) I'm not much for making big print runs of anything because my sales are so erratic and I don't go to lots of cons or do mail-in, so the ink cost isn't bad.
On another note: did you get the mass e-mail (sent out early this year) listing which cons Paul and I will be at/staffing for? Ravencon is pretty full (it's a small room, so someone would have to cancel to open up any panel space) and Balticon takes mail-in art, so the next one for sending us anything would Anime Mid-Atlantic. We miss seeing (and trying to acquire) your art.
