Should I go with another ink jet type printer, as the Epson R1900 has a high retail price of roughly $ 550.00, or is it advantageous to opt for a laser printer? And finally, although the retail is pricey on this Epson, can I expect to get a better deal, depending on how I purchase, which raises another issue, that of do I have to worry about getting a reject, if I get it cheaper from someone like Best Buy.
Thanks to all who advise and offer their time and opinions!
I think you have found a bloated price somewhere on the R 1900
Epson has them Brand New for 299.99. See snap.
I use my R1800 a lot. Once in 6 months I might see banding, (or my friend tells me he sees some) and I run a cleaning cycle and it is perfect again.
I have never had to replace a head in any Epson.
Of course you can use the 1900 for printing anything, but as I mentioned earlier, in the El Cheapo All in One, I use 3rd party inks so when my wife prints out one of her 30 page lists, is eating the cheaper ink.
It's not a big deal either way.
I've had Canon printers and *they* burn out heads. I have had and still have an HP printer, and I find decent quality, but the software is so bad that I have no hair left.
I have worn out Epsons... worn them out.... and even though a clogged nozzle is reported perhaps more often than other brands, the WOW factor of print quality, the consistency of the prints, the beauty of well written software, that match profiles with names that make sense, the paper that they make for their own inks is a superb match too.
Other paper companies respect Epson's quality and provide their paper with an eye toward making sure a print on their paper rivals Epson's paper and profile.
When my Epson 1280 passed away. We cried at the funeral. That's how good that printer was.
Ok I am done....
Let's hear it!
