Inkjets SUCK if you don't use them consistently. The latent ink in the<br>
heads and tubes dry out and trash the printer. If ever I decide (I)<br>
need color again, (I) will be going color LASER. Yes, it IS much more<br>
expensive, BUT at least I won't need to deal with dried out inks.<br>
<br>
FLIP SIDE: EPSON inks supposedly are archive quality though and it<br>
probably will be cheaper to become a heroin addict instead of buying<br>
ink. Still, their inks I believe are rated 20 or 25 years if printouts<br>
are stored properly AND 6 cartridges give better color accuracy.<br>

Hope I helped. ;-)<br>
