I actually agree all the way around. Printing off of an ink jet printer is a horrible way to print photos and a lot of other things honestly. Laser is both technical better and superior in quality and price.
By the way, one interesting anecdote, guess where Shutterfly gets its ink? And Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Walgreens, CVS, Snapfish, Peekaboo... I could go on and on. Also interesting, they often don't use HP hardware for printing, just HP ink.
- logfromblammo 10y agoBoth HP and Epson inks are perfectly acceptable--when they come in big bottles at wholesale prices, rather than in proprietary cartridges at the wallet-raping retail price.
- trcollinson 10y agoThey are both perfectly acceptable under certain circumstances yes. Though if you put them under a microscope they are pretty different. Epson's engineers designed their inks for Epson ink delivery systems. HP engineers did the same for HP ink delivery systems. They have very interesting and subtle differences which can cause different performance. However, their compatibility is relatively high, yes. Knock off ink with less engineering on the other hand doesn't mimic HP OR Epson ink nearly as well as they mimic each other.
