Upgrading a printer. Opinions please.
Hi all,
Just a request for your best (and worst) recomendations to the idea that at present I have an Epson C60 that is three years old, does stirling work, but has started to eat more ink in head cleaning than it uses in actual printing.
I was thinking of upgrading to the Epson R200 that will allow me to print edge to edge, print on CD's and have six ink cartridges.
Is it worth it? Are six cartridges really going to deliver economy over the two that just do BW and Colour. To replace my curent cartridges costs me £20, to replace six will cost nearly £40.
I have no objection to paying that if the quality is really better, but we only print the odd photo, but when we do we demand the highest standard available in a home printer.
Also, whilst the CD printing sounds great, I'm told that you have to use special CD's that are not that readily available. consequently a salesman in a computer shop suggested that so long as you put a blank CD cover on a disk, then you can just print to it as you would have done through the computers software. Anyone tried this? does it work?
Thanks as ever for the answers.
