First let me thank those who responded to my new InkJet Printer questions.
I have focused on two models... a Epson 760 or a Lenmark Z52. Both of
these retail at discount at 150 to 170. Reviewers like both of these and
while the Z52 is a new model, wins in overall performance, and has better
resolution 2400X1200 the Epson still wins the color photo contest.The Epson
also has a cheaper price and a good rebate which makes it a very attractive
choice for my needs.
I have read comments about Epson InkJets on the list regarding clogged
print heads that are permanently attached and problematic. It is my
understanding that this was a problem with older models and Epson has
resolved a lot of this. Is this in fact the case ? Can some one with hands
on knowledge explain this issue to me. Is there a way to clean the heads if
they become clogged. Do they dry up easily ? Is this one of those printers
that the more you use them the better they work ? Are their other issues,
like print alignment with the Epson.
I understand that cartridges are not refillable which is all right for me
since I don't use my color InkJet that often. How much ink do the
cartridges hold and how long do they last compared to a HP. Are they around
the same cost a a HP? I have a Espon Action Laser that has been very good
to me but the one bad thing is the cost of the cartridges. They last 5 to
6000 pages and I have only had to replace it once but it costs 160 dollars
to get a new one. Do the InkJets have expensive cartridges ? How many
cartridges are there in a Epson ...2? Are there other Epson issues I need
to be aware of ?
thanks
