Printer

[mis3]

I am shopping for a new printer and I'm now down to 2 choices: HP-DJ990Cse and Epson Stylus C80. Any comments?

The Epson, beyond a doubt. It's got individual color tanks with self-sealing valves that will keep the ink from drying out for up to six months. The max resolution is <i>2880x720</i> dpi, with a variable droplet size of 3 picoliters ... and that's pretty killer. And the new DuraBrite ink is rated for 70 years of light resistance ... not to mention being water-proof. It's also fast ... it'll print a 25-page mixed text document in 3 minutes 29 seconds in automatic mode.

There's also a thirty dollar rebate available if you get the printer before Dec 31st. That puts the printer at around $150.00 ... and that's awfully good for a inkjet printer this nice.

IMHO, there is no comparison between an Epson and a HP inkjet printer in terms of reliability, ease of installation ... and price. The Epson is the real winner in my book.

Only $150!?! Dangit...I think I would've gotten this one instead of the Xerox M760 I bought for $60.

Anyways, here's the link official link for that:

I'm a sucker for Epson printer's myself. I have an HP right now but there's no doubt I'd dump it if my Epson printer were working. Better print quality and quite a bit faster than this HP. Go with the Epson.
