not only does the thing clog the print heads all the time, but it uses ink to clean them (which the epson product rep told me they did not do while i was selling the things when i brought up the fact that the heads clog easily), and it also has horrific text in quality mode. it still gets satellite drops all over the place! i plugged in my old lexmark 5700 to print up my law school apps because its got great quality in normal mode.

Yet another wonderful post from El Fenix.

I hate Epson.
the only other printers I hate (not as much anymore) are HP.

Lexmark works ok from what I have seen, as well as Brother, and Canon.
the others = poo.
 
I went through two Epsons over about five years. The second one I nursed along for about 2-3 years, constant cloggings, etc. Even clogged almost immediately after Epson (warranty) serviced it. Finally through the d*mn thing out and bought a Canoni550-best move I made. No more frustrations, good print quality, reasonably priced ice. Goodbye forever, Epson.

FANTASTIC PRINTERS!!!!

I don't even care how much my kids print and the print quality is great.

EPSON RULES, BABY.
what he said.. except ive got one Epson 880 and have never had a problem with it... same about cartridge prices and quality...

 
I owned several Epsons without a problem. I sold it because ink is expensive and I don't really need color. Now I have a laser printer and am quite happy with it. But I would not hesitate to buy an Epson ink jet again if I needed one.

Dead on, buddy!! 🙂

Another vote for the Epson 880i. Best printer I ever had. Ink for this model is so cheap I use it like water.
