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.
