Nogbad, I have had lots of different epsons over the years and found them to only last about 18 mths. The ones I had r300 and the r800 and earlier ones went into cleaning mode everytime I switched on, I didn't get many photos before the ink ran out and not just the one colour, all colours.
I decided to go for the canon ip6700 because I can still change individual cartridges and its at a good price. The photos are superb and haven't had to put in a new cartridge in 6 months, I am just about to buy my first lot and only the ones that have run out, which is black, magenta and cyan the others are still 3/4 full. Bare in mind I don't print many anyway it is used more for text and the occasional photo.
