Re: Epson Printer (Stylus Photo)

[Paul Stenquist]

My Epson 2200 is an absolute joy. It uses seven inks, five colors plus 
black and light black. The cartridges can be replaced individually. 
And, as with the Canon, I can pop a cartridge out and reinsert it to 
try for another print. It's so quiet, I sometimes have to walk right up 
to it to make sure it's printing. Prior to this printer I had an Epson 
1200 Stylus Photo. Never had a problem with that printer either, 
although the 2200 is definitely superior in terms of the way it renders 
shadows and gradations of color. My next printer will be the Epson that 
replaces the 2200.

It helps that they are giving people what they want. I have a Canon
S9000. It takes 6 individual ink tanks (black plus five colours), and 
if
the low ink warning appears, I open the lid, the head slides out, I
retrieve the specified tank, and if I think it could still do a couple 
of
prints yet, I slot it back in and carry on.

I bought it used and at three years old the head was clogging a bit, 
so I
bought a brand new head for about 50 GBP (just under 100 USD) and 
popped
it into the head assembly - very quick and my printer has a new leas of
life. It is very fast, very quiet and the results continually amaze me.

I had a Stylus Photo EX before the S9000, and the Epson was noisy and
slow, and the head clogged continually if inactive for more than a week
at a time. I would not consider another Epson at this time.
