I'm slowly coming to the following hard-won realization, much to my chagrin, regarding printing color photos at home: 0. B&W laser writers (such as my HP 3200m) are trivial & cheap to refill 1. Most color laser writers are also trivial & cheap to refill. 2. However, color laser writers stink at printing pictures at home! Given that, we are FORCED to look at ink-based printers: 0. IMHO, all ink-based printers from HP are to be avoided at all costs! 1. Kodak/Canon/Dell ink-based printers 'may' be a viable alternative. 2. The key is to buy the printer based on the ease of "replacing" the ink! Drat! Color lasers, which are the subject of this task, are slowly dropping off the radar screen ... and the dreaded ink-based printers are rising up, again. Why is finding a decent printer to print photos at home at a decent price such a miserable process? Why is Epson not recommended in the US (I assume most posters here are in the US)? Epson is great for photos, although as I concentrate on linux Canon driver development I only use Epson as a backup. I buy 3rd party inks for my Epson, haven't tried refilling it. I'm not aware of any problems with the ink cartridges, but maybe there are, which is why Epson is not being discussed here? -- Gernot Hassenpflug |
