I haven't compared all the available printers, but I am happy with my Epson R1800. Thanks for all this great advise. I am having a custom profile made for my current canon MP830 but its a multi purpose printer and I doubt it will apporach my desires. I think I will save my pennies for one of the epsons sited here R800 R1800 and R2400 Since I dont do a lot of black and white, I am leaning toward the R1800 looks amazing. How do you R1800 owners feel ? |

I just suggest that anyone who is trying to make a decision, should consider all the options. It is not difficult to find actual examples of the output of most printers. Usually you can get samples printed at the store selling the printers. Of course the samples have been optimized and should be considered the highest likely quality possible in each case. Don't be surprised that if you are looking for a sample inkjet printed while you are there at a not so busy store than they may need to run a cleaning cycle or two before you get anything close to acceptable. :-) Cordially, John Turco -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |

Seems like my Epson inkjets have always needed cleaning cycles,
but the Canon's don't need nearly as many.

I have had both Canon and Epson Inkjets and I have not really seen any advantage of one brand over the other.

Hello, Paul: Same, here. My present inkjet (Epson Stylus Photo 825) clogs far more often, than its immediate predecessor (Canon BJC-610) did. Then, again, the BJC-610 isn't a photo-quality printer; the 825's somewhat tinier nozzles, must account for part of the discrepancy, at least. Cordially, John Turco |
