That's odd. I got five printers from Epson after 18 months of trying to get the old one right. I got a spare during all this hassle, (which they didn't want back.) and thought I'd come out ahead. But no, it was @$^@$
What was annoying, when I went from the 5k series to the 6k series, I thought I was on a winner, but the darn ink capacities had been reduced to an insult.
I sent off for a clone, but trying to fool the level chip thingie was a real hassle. One old boy sent me a cartridge which was troublesome, and he told me to shake it. I did, and ruined the carpet in my den. He just said, send it back for a refund.
Dumped a mass of printers a few weeks back, three big names, but none of them worked.
I've been thinking of asking Santa for a dye-sub photo printer..... but I don't think I do sufficient photo printing to justify the expense....
You have to pay Santa??!!
Edit to add a 'joke'. no need to tell everyone I've edited my post.
Sigh . . .
