Message: [QUOTE="UpAndPrinting, post: 227277, member: 22349"] So funny thing about the entire ET line... They literally baited and switched the consumer printer market by showcasing the: "[I]Pour your own ink!", "save money", "Big bottled ink instead of cartridges", "no pollution". [/I]etc etc But what happens when their CISS [ Continuous Ink Supply System ] fails? It's absolutely not a simple fix anymore. Plus, you're now dealing with Epsons new set of features* that are only there to prevent you from properly maintaining your printer so it lasts long. Everyone that was sold an EcoTank was suckered into the idea of saving money while helping the environment, they didn't stop to look at what it could cost to repair or maintain it for years to come. When the lines dry up anywhere (and they will), it's notably more difficult to service. Most times resulting in the consumer dumping it to get a new one. This is just our opinion from experience working with this line of printers. k_mohr3 was on the right track with a Canon Pixma Pro printer. The [URL='https://upandprinting.com/product/canon-pixma-pro-100-digital-photo-color-inkjet-printer-airprint-under-10-pages-printed/'][B][U]Pro-100[/U][/B][/URL] line would probably be the best for OP as it has the easiest maintenance to keep their printer running for a long time. And the most coverage. It's the best bang for your buck on prints in our opinion. After that, you'd go up to the [URL='https://upandprinting.com/product/epson-artisan-1430-inkjet-printer-incl-nozzle-print-with-ink-in-original-box/'][B][U]Epson Artisan 1430[/U][/B][/URL] or [URL='https://upandprinting.com/product/epson-stylus-photo-1400-printer-low-pages-printed/'][B][U]Stylus Photo 1400[/U][/B][/URL] printers. Generally, the older the printer is, the easier it's going to be to maintain and service. If you can find a printer with a lot of coverage meaning third-party or aftermarket suppliers and other topics on YouTube or elsewhere, even better. As long as you're not losing quality. Which these printers are fully capable of incredible prints. [I]*By features I mean sensors and other traps that will essentially brick your printer in record time if not maintained correctly the first time.[/I] [/QUOTE]
