Now Ready for Living again in Living Colour

Whilst we're on my favourite subject - colour printers

A reminder to everybody that EPSON printers (almost uniquely) have their printheads built in and not (like HP and others) on the cartridge itself. So what? (you might ask). Make one small mistake and leave a cartridge in there too long (like over a four week vacation) and you can chuck your printer away. The printheads cost more than a new printer - and there is no way known to man that you can clear a miniature micronised print-head hole. Steer clear of EPSON.

Having gotten that bit of recurring bile off my chest, what's a good make, brand and model for middle of the road colour (individual colour pots and high quality photo printing) - that's not a colour LASER? I've completed my self-imposed 12month color-free penance after the third Epson colour-printer chuckout fiasco - and I'm looking to escape my monochromatic world again.
