![]() Epson's flaw is having the nozzole head buildt into the printer and not the carts. I do believe that Walmert etc are on the same cost level. They use archival inks. As does any photo realistic printer.

I never thought that the nozzle in the printer was a flaw. They do not wear the same as in HP or Lexmark because they do not use heat. Therefore do not need replacement as often. Epson does have built-in cleaning systems to ensure the nozzle does not clog. But that is not always the case J |

![]() I would recommend either Epson or Canon. I think that the more cartridge the better as the all-in-one's need to be replaced if you are out of a particular color. With the multi heads, you only need to change out the color that is used up. Ie. predominately Black gets used up faster and with the multi cartridge, you only have to change out black and not all the other colors.
You should also invest in a good monitor calibration software/hardware. Unless your monitor is calibrated correctly, what you see on the monitor may not reflect the same shade of color that the printer prints. I agree with Jason, it is still cheaper to get your prints done at a big box store etc. The advantage to printing at home is that you can totally customize your photo via photoshop or printing the prints on special textured paper that is not available printing at the stores.

![]() I have used many Epsons and they have clogged on me. They have an auto clean cycle which uses alot of ink. If the heads clog and you can't resolve the clog...you have to go out and buy a new printer. Canon or HP have heads in the carts...just throw the carts away and not the printer

![]() I always liked my friends Xerox Solid Ink Phaser printer
![]() The only down sides are the initial cost of the printer and he does not know if he can use the photo paper in it (and he does not want to experiment) Cheers, Vic [veng68] |
