Bottle ink printer

One more question - maybe you could do a test for me. I print a lot of photo albums. If you have a couple of spare prints, could you lay them face to face and put them under a book for a few days? Would like to know if there is any problem with the pages sticking together. I know this was a problem with some dye inks 20 years ago. They have resolved any major issues related to fading, so maybe this wont be an issue either. Since I am contemplating that Epson bottle ink printer as my Epson stylus 3000 is threatening to go to that permanent nozzle clog in the sky.
Mel,
I now own 3 printers. I gave away the 17.00 per 13ml cartridge with auto cleaning cycles; my Canon Pro 100. A great printer but putting me in the poor house.
I got the G620 Canon first with bottled ink and worked it to death. Finally, got an Epson 8550 after Mike put it through its paces.
The need for the Epson was not due to it making better prints than the Canon, but because the Canon G620 had a max paper size of 8.5 x 11. We needed a 13 inch carriage. Hence Epson 8550.
The Epson has higher output rez, but it takes a Mike to see it.
On your sticking question, I am old and do not take anymore safaris. So I go through my thousands of images and print; print; print. I stack them on each other until I empty a paper box. Then I put them in the box and give them away to retirement homes, churches,and Dr offices. Not a problem anywhere.
I have figured out that not needing to spend 90 dollars a month on cartridge ink,the savings will pay for my 8550
Mel, I too, have printed with every printer you can imagine. I even had a 3 color ribbon printer years ago.
Mel, you know me a long time. I wouldn't steer you wrong. Get an Epson 8550, and don't look back.
It even has a tray for plain paper which, It prints receipts or test prints, or whatever just by you selecting PLAIN PAPER in Qimage.
Stay well,
Fred

A quick second vote for the 8550. I print everything on every type of paper including t-shirt transfers that go through the wash. Never had a problem. Dye inks today are competitive with pigment inks. They've come a long way in the past 5 years.

I think I will be heading the Epson 8550 soon as well...Every time I replace an ink cartridge in my R2000 it takes 2-4 purge cycles for all colors to start working, even if I replace a cartridge before the warning. The amount of money I've spent on ink the past couple years alone can justify me buying it!

He's probably busy this morning, but both Mike and I use Roto trimmers.
Don't get scared by the prices. There's one for us too.
