They're economical if you print a lot. If you're like me and frequently go a month or more between printing they will still clog up and waste a ton of ink on cleaning cycles.

Oh yeah. If I only printed B&W or dithered I would have kept my precious HP Laserjet 4100DTN - sold it for a song due to its large footprint.

Thanks for the information about the smaller size color laserjet. Unfortunately we use the scanner quite heavily (more than the printer) and therefore can't live without a multifunctional. The 8600 is about the height of a Tektronix TDS7104 and fits perfectly on top of an Ikea Besta bookshelf unit we have.

Fortunately for us the 8600 really keeps unclogged over the weeks between printouts.

I own one too (Epson EcoTank). It was nice until it started to spit large drops of ink on the paper unprompted. And now it turns out that there is no accepted way to mail it back for warranty repair, because there is no way to either drain or seal the ink system: "Ensure that the printer is not tipped or tilted during transport."  :clap:

Thank you very much, Epson. That was my first and last "EcoTank", and probably my last Epson product for a long time. It was quite expensive too -- with these printers, the ink is affordable, but you pay real money for the printer. 500 Euros for a photo-quality ET-7000...

Anybody wants to buy a complete set of unopened, original ink bottles? The printer did not even get through the first of the two included sets.  :rant:

I am curious why in this era of obsession with black computer equipment if is difficult to find a black printer.
olkipukki:
Are people still using ink printers?  :o

The laser (colour) printers are cheap these days (yes, need take into account some manufacturer promotions, reseller discounts, vouchers etc.) and at the time you need to replace cartridges - literally through away it and buy new one  >:D


P.S.

Apple users, please do not forget to check AirPrint compatibility  :-DMM
