Juan,

I am so sorry to learn that Epsons are failing.  Until now, I have strongly
supported and recommended HP for laser printing and Epson for ink printing.
Right now, my laser is HP 4050TN - handles my heavy duty class-prep work
beautifully.  My inkjet is Epson Stylus C82, which I love for my color
printing - and I always buy the Epson Dura-Brite inks for it.  I get great
photo quality, and when I make posters that get rained on, they do not smear
at all.  So far, I have had zero difficulties with my C82.  However, my
sister is having difficulties with her Epson Color Stylus 600 - horizontal
lines in the printout - using lots of ink in the head-cleaning.  I suspect
she is running into the very issues you mention.  Thanks for the
information, even though it isn't what I wanted to hera.
