printer opinions

[Wayne D]

(I) have switched to "Brother" exclusively  (3 lasers, 1 inkjet and a
ADS-2000 scanner.  They all have performed flawlessly with no jams.
Inkjets SUCK if you don't use them consistently.  The latent ink in the
heads and tubes dry out and trash the printer.   If ever I decide (I)
need color again, (I) will be going color LASER.  Yes, it IS much more
expensive, BUT at least I won't need to deal with dried out inks.

FLIP SIDE: EPSON inks supposedly are archive quality though and it
probably will be cheaper to become a heroin addict instead of buying
ink. Still, their inks I believe are rated 20 or 25 years if printouts
are stored properly AND 6 cartridges give better color accuracy.


Hope I helped.  ;-)
