My Epson 2200 stopped working just as the warranty ran out. Epson replaced
it under warranty (refurbished, I assume), but it had problems. They
replaced it with one that did not work at all. The next replacement also
has some problems we are working on. I'm spending way too much time on
this, and am not optimistic that they will ever send me a working printer.

If I give up on Epson, what should I replace it with? I need high quality
glossies (for sale), archival, and at least 13x19". Besides suggestions, I
would also appreciate a web site that gives the comparisons and evaluations.
Thanks.

I know the feeling, my printers where at the opposite end of the
price scale, I was so sick of Epson clogging I was hell bent on
trying a Canon. I took the bait and got a ip5000 and over 4 months
now not one single clog nor manual head clean required to date.

The C62 clogged on the 4th day, it was exchanged somewhile later and
that clogged on the 4th day all with Epson ink, Epson would not
transfer the warranty, I believe now that it was a refurbished unit.

The ip5000 is far more economical, uses clear ink tanks and they'er
not chipped, I understand the newer ones are, I imagine you'll be
looking at the higher end printers, which I will leave for other
people to answer.

Sorry but even though I have a Canon i9900 for the purposes you state I

would recommend the new Espon 2400.

Suggest you check back through the newsgroup for previous postings from
the poster with the stuck caps lock key. Then you can decide for yourself
whether or not to consider his advice.

The 2400 is the direct equivalent. The 1800 is also another choice.

I BELIEVE YOU ARE USING CANON OEM INK. IF NOT YOU CAN EXPECT A CLOG.


BESIDES TO GO 13X19 HE NEEDS AN I9900

DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. THE I9900 CANON WITH CANON INK IS THE ONLY WAY TO
GO. PIGMENTED INK PRINTERS HAVE A GREATER TENDENCY TO CLOG THE HEAD
EVEN WITH OEM INK AND YOU CAN TOTALLY FORGET AFTERMARKET UNBRANDED
GENERIC INK.

The best prints will come from the Epson 2400 not the Canon i9900.

Reviews on Canon 9900 / 9950, HP 8750, Epson 1800/2400 A3+ printers are

here:
http://www.photo-i.co.uk/
The HP and Canon will provide archival quality - but on swellable
polymer papers - IMO not suitable for sale unframed. They will both
print nicely on "fast dry" papers, but the prints won't be archival.
Head clogging seems not to be much of an issue with the R1800/2400 using
OEM cartridges. Beware counterfeit cartridges - there is a thread on
that subject in the photo-i forums.

Could you give me a reference to support that? Do you agree with
frederick's statement about the swellable polymer paper (??) being archival,
but not good for selling unmounted photos?

Thanks for the link. I'll study it. What is "swellable polymer?" I do
sell some unmounted photos. All must be high quality and archival. I've
been using Epson Glossy Photo Paper with nice results. It sounds like you
think there is nothing as good as the Epson.

Epson is about to send me my 4th replacement printer. With a 1-day
warranty.
