We agreed with that also. I have posted here and other places about the outrageous price of ink for the Epson printer (we have the RX580). Recently we were going to trash a perfectly good printer because of the bad luck with cheaper inks. We really like the print quality, but not at that price. Our problem is that we need to print on CDs & DVDs and the color laser won't do that.
We read a post somewhere about this: (on eBay) CIS CISS system for Epson R380 RX580 Rx595 Rx680 w/ ink We figured for about $50 dollars it was worth a try. It takes about 20 minutes to set up. They have a youtube video and they sent 2 CDs with video to help. So far it is wonderful. You get huge containers of each of the 6 ink colors. I was afraid it would clog up since we sometimes don't use it for a few days, but so far it has not. If it continues to work like it is now, this is the ultimate solution. You can get a bottle of ink really cheaply to refill the reserviors. No more fooling with those stupid little cartridges. We have a KonicaMinolta model magicolor 2400W from Costco that works great after about 2 years. We have 2 Brother MFC black/white lasers that work great after more than 2 years. The autofeed never fails. We use them for scanning as well as faxing and printing. The toner is reasonable. We tried an Okidata color laser and a Canon color laser and returned both of them - they were both junky printers. Funny since we have sold hundreds of Oki dot matrix printers over the years and they are real work horses. We have 2 Canon black/white lasers that we bought to use as default printers on networks. The auto-feed on both of them stopped working after about 6 months - again junky printers with expensive toner. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Laeremans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 10:47 AM Subject: Re: [NF] RE: Printer recomendation On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 7:21 PM, Michael Madigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yep.
