Horses for courses. Epson printers will give you high quality prints but
if you let the heads get blocked they are dead.



Not true but admittedly it takes a lot more time and effort then most people are prepared for
I won a bet a few years ago from a friend who had an Epson SX600 left in a loft for 4years unused
its still in use now in our pub and working fine

I scrapped an Epson. It did good pictures, and wasn't too expensive to
run - but if I didn't use it for a month I was back to soaking the heads
in meths. Again.

I bought a laser in the end.

But laser printers for colour aren't very good for photographes unless you pay a fortune even then you;d be better off with an inkjet in most cases.
We have a rather nice one here we use a HP Designjet T790, you can get some amazing types of paper that can be used for posters, can even be folded and doesn't crease ideal for taking to events whereas previously you needed to roll them up.
