epson C79

Epson C79. I've must have printed less than 2000 pages and the printer has started saying its at the end of it's rope (“parts are at the end of their service life). I was expecting it to last about 10k pages before konking out on me. Now that it only started (a week ago) printing at FINE quality without the discoloration bands. Now that the color is working its printing to one side of the page and not centering. Ugg, that means the bands have to be recallibrated? or something. With the numerous complaints about this printer

Save Time and Do So Much More

  • Fast printing speed of up to 22ppm

22ppm? A very MISLEADING claim. I clocked the average page at 1 min at Text, 2.5 mins at Fine, and 5mins at Photo! Not to mention that at the Fast Print option color saturation is at less than 10%. So you can barely read what you've printed at 22ppm.

Unsurpassed Economy for the INKdividual™

  • Minimise printing expenditure

  • More cost-effective printing at home

  • New range of affordable INKdividual™ ink cartridges

  • Only inkjet printer with individual ink cartridges in its class

  • Black ink back-up with Black Ink Save Mode

What a lot of people complain about is that EVEN if one cartridge is ALMOST finished it will stop MID printing and will not continue until you replace it, ruining the page. Its inks dry up really fast and the printer always cleans its cartridge every time you turn it on. At 8ml of ink per cartridge at $10 per cartridge you're pretty much screwed. The pages filled with text per cartridge will last you 70-100 pages if you printed it straight. Every time you turn it on you loose ink when it cleans its nozzle and head. IF you don't clean it, it will keep clogging.

The age of the “Disposable” printer are over. With continuous Ink Supplies you wonder why these dinosaurs are still around. INK is cheap, and the people SKIMPING on printing only get REALLY frustrated and annoyed at the costs they spend. Why don't make it as a permanent FEATURE at the cost that is reasonable? Make money of the INKs, if they don't Other people will. Imagine if you made that kind of printer, it may not be PHOTO-freaking quality BUT more people will be happy at HOW long it will last and how cheap you can make it.
