Die Epson Die!!
I have had it. The game is over for me and my next printer will NOT be an Epson. The reason is simple, I have now killed my fourth Printer. I have owned an Epson 600, 800, 850, and an 8cubed. I figure I have never gotten my money's worth out of the printers, because at some point I forget to run a print on a regular basis, the heads gum up and the printer is toast. It always happens when there is no warranty support. Of course there are pointers as to how to fix this issue, but they don't always work.

The solution is simple, I will no longer buy Epson printers. This problem is a real one that is a product of a fixed print-head design, that while giving Epson superior print performance in most cases, also creates a reliability issue I am no longer willing to live with. I have been told by people in the Industry that Epson knows this is an issue, but they keep it because it creates a market for people to replace their printers.

I guess you can sign me out of that marketing plan...mj
