The problem with Epsons and OTHER fixed head printers are:
The head (nozzle) is a permanent fixture and as such it will always clean its self. This at first this doesn’t sound bad but….It cleans its self by blowing LOTS of ink through the nozzle and you use their ink it ends up being lots of wasted $$$..
The other problem you may run into is; IF they set for a long ( and that time varies ) the nozzle can become clogged, then unless you know how to work on one… More $$$$
Look for a printer with print head cartridges (a LOT of HP’s are like this) the cartridge cost is usually a bit more than inkwell one’s BUT they do not SELF clean
and waste ink, so in the long run it costs you less, also each time you do have to replace a cartridge you get a new print head………
The reason I “picked on” Epson is: I read somewhere that they were trying to stop after market print cartridges. Tho I do NOT know if this indeed true…..
I ordered the eagerly awaited R1800 on first day of availability from Amazon. When shipped, item arrived dead. Printer carriage did not move into position, so ink cartridges could not be loaded. Defective printer was returned to Amazon (which promptly credited the return, including postage).
On this single anecdotal incident, I do not fault either Epson or Amazon. Stuff happens. Perhaps damage in shipping. I merely provide this information for consumer information, in case other buyers have the same problem.
My star rating is nominal, since unit received did not function at all
I don’t care paying for the ink which already caused a lawsuit against epson, but if I have a document to print in black and I need it only to be reproduced in black and white, why in the world would not allow to print it if I have a brand new black in cartridge if the cyan is empty. You have to have ALL cartridges full in order to print black only. Nice to know their phliosophy but I don’t think will earn them more customers.
The Epson R1800 has been nothing but trouble for me. I’m in the printing business and wanted to use this for proofs but have never been able to get this printer to print colors correctly. We have tried every setting and every type of paper, but the colors always come out wrong. The software is terrible. It is very un-intuitive.
I think I’ll stay with HP printers from now on.
The best color printer I have ever owned. Prints beautifully on DVD’s.
