[joshwa]

Okay, so about an hour and a half ago, I decide, right I'll print a nice picture off on my printer...

printer > nope sorry, i don't want to print colour
me > but you've got a new cartridge full of ink
printer > so?
me > okay, i'll clean you
printer > ooh look i've printed blue and red
me > yeah but i need yellow too!
printer > so?
me > aaargh!! clean, print nozzle check, clean, print nozzle check, clean, print nozzle check, ha take that!

--- an hour later ---

printer > your point being?
me > I WANT ALL THE COLOURS TO WORK PROPERLY!!
printer > no can do...
me > WHY!!?!?! WHY NOT?!?!
printer > you're low on black now, do you want to change the cartridge?
me > NOOOOO!!!!

*cries*

wife comes in goes: what's wrong?
me: chuffin printer won't print - now it says i have to change the chuffin cartridge!!!
wife: what were you printing?
me: a pic
wife: why?
me: for fun
wife: it's not much fun is it?

Sorry to see your having probs m8.

Use to work for a company that delt with epson warranty work so i know how substandard the printers are.

[turkster]

Epson inkjets=

They always insist on having all their cartridges 100% correct before they will do anything right. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I hate them

[Apex]

Not the only one m8.

tbh they are not worth the money...rather get a cannon or a HP printer even if it cost more it's worth it.

I used to have an epson, then it defied me so i sold it on ebay and bought a canon, wouldn't have anything other than an canon now.

Epson printers are absolute tosh. Canon > *.*

I have an Epson, my last printer was an Epson. Strangely I like them. They seem to get along with me fine. Even if I'm not using it I fire it up at least once a week to keep the ink from drying up in the heads - that's a big cause of problems.

[Alex]

All my printers hvae been Epson, and I've never had a problem... maybe Im just lucky!

[Twigman]

HP > * actually
People with epson just always seem to have trouble.

[Tumble]

do NOT get me started on Epson... the blleedin ink costs more than the printer... what does that say about the build quality?? gah.. I wouldn't touch em with a very long engine-less floating vehicle propulsion tool tbh..

[Stoo]

I wouldn't buy another Epson either, I had no end of problems with mine, my sister had a load of problems with hers, and one of my other friends had a bunch of problems with hers as well.

People that don't have problems are generally the exception to the rule.

[Agent]

I will never buy another Epson again.

Im keeping my eye open for a decent one that can print on CD's, thats not Epson.

[Stoo]

Agent, the new Canon photo printers can apparently, plus they're damned quick even with a full A4 colour print..

[Howard]

Oh god. I'm still trying to get over how quick mine prints... And how SUPERB the prints are... What a machine

They are good, untill they decide to break :\

[bertie]

Another thumbs up for canon
And in the unlikely event your canon does break, their support sort it straight away.
