Just went through that with a local church who had an Epson 600 "donated" to them along with two sets of ink catridges. For what it cost to repait the donated printer's print head they could buy a new printer. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Juan Zavala Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:12 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] HP 3820 No problem and the Epson 600 the heads 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.
