Poll: Which printer should I get Epson 880 or 980 ?

[Revenge786]

I'm confused. Which printer should I get the Epson 880 or the Epson 980 ??
It's an initial 100 bucks extra for the 980, but cost per page is half that of the 880. plus it's a little faster... any recommendations ?? how about some other printer. let me know.

How is the availibility of generic ink for both. Love my 777 but not too thrilled about paying 30 for a single black cartridge. 44 for 6 generics saves you enough to buy a new printer every 4-5 cartridges.

I know, that is why I am going to chose between 880 and 980, generics are available for both. I couldn't find any generics for the 777, otherwise it is as good a printer.
So what should it be the 880 or 980 ?

I'd get the better one since in the long run it's lower cost per page and time savings with printing faster more then make up for the extra 100 bucks.

I'd get the 980, but I wouldnt recommend using generic cartridges, it ruined my 400 a while back, I now have a 860, and been using Epson's cartridges, and it has been working well now for over a year.
