Some have good results and some DISASTER!
For me it is Epson all the way.
If you are looking to save money, book mark COMPUSA web site for at times
they have unannounced sales at local stores (they do not announce in local
papers) for, I have heard, as much as 50% off retail.
I have found a local supplier that their standard is 30% off on ALL inkjet
supplies.
Plus a local authorized service, walk in, repairer of Epson products.
My old Epson 1200 took a serious printhead dive using off brands, thus I
have a new 1280 and off brand will never get near it. I did not find the
local service repairer untill I dumped the 1200. Had I found the repairer, I
would have made the 1200 an approved bulk B&W printer.
I admit the 1200 was purchased when it was first introduce, so maybe it was
time for new heads.
Thank goodness I have an understanding CFO and I am a happy camper with my
new 1280.
Make pictures,
Tom
