Message: [QUOTE="UpAndPrinting, post: 227299, member: 22349"] I'm not a fan of the Pro-200 either. I feel like they skimped out on A LOT of things. The funny thing is, the Pro-100 and Pro-200 share the same exact printhead. The Pro-100 was made so much better. We literally just serviced our last one today. It couldn't be easier to maintain. I'm not able to specifically identify sensors that will fail eventually. However, if you've ever worked on your printer or tried to get more out of it in terms of lowering cost of prints etc. The newer printers are designed to be more complex when they don't have to be. With more advanced firmware and encryption that takes a long time for third-party releases like ink and chip resetters to happen. With newer printers including the EcoTank line, they're built to fail a lot easier than past models. And attempting to repair or fix them is practically gone unless you're incredibly into tech. All to make the consumer not want to bother trying to fix whatever goes wrong and purchasing a replacement instead. I look at them like a much more expensive disposable printer to be honest. [/QUOTE]
