Message: [QUOTE="UP8, post: 220926, member: 18966"] I have an Epson ET-4750. I'd complain that (1) the inks are not lightfast (I've seen prints in a bad environment fade seriously in six months) and (2) the pick roller gives me terrible problems if I use paper that is too thick or too thin. Other than that it I've found it to be a reliable printer for photos and art reproductions that makes decent output with a low material cost. I had to master a number of small details though to get consistently good results. I have an ET-16550 on order from two different vendors which ought to solve problems 1 and 2 but they seem to be impossible to find and I suspect even vendors that claim to have them in stock really don't. I have seriously considered the ET-8500 but I don't think that the six-ink system really improves quality that much. I think the ET-8500 prints last longer than the ET-4750 but the pigment ink on the ET-16550 ought to last 70+ years. [/QUOTE]
