You REALLY don't want to go down the road with Epson. Historically Canon has been the best in terms of reliable "inkjet". I still shiver at the nightmare of the Epson printers in the 00s and early 10s. They used this really agressive ink that while produced beautiful print, easily clogged up the expensive printheads embedded in the printers. The school district I worked for lost easily 100+ units to this issue. And the tactics they used to prevent refills. God what a nightmare. All the printer companies suck (yes even brother) they just suck in different ways and at different times.

- nebula8804 4y agoNot much actually, I put brother in there because there was a story about 7 months ago where they started engaging in these shenanigans. [1]:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131
- vr46 4y agoI have an Epson R2880 that needs keyhole surgery because of this stupid ink. Stunning, heavenly prints but needs to be constantly used. The alternative ink feed options are excellent, however, such as the bulk options. I inject TP ink into TP cartridges now.
- tvbusy 4y agoIt's not a bug, it's a feature. Constant usage means constant need to purchase.
