Canon seems to work a lot better than Epson's (I've used both) My Epson
did encounter a lot of clogging that made the carts run out faster. Also
Epson carts are chipped so when the printer decides one needs replacing,
you've gotta do it and there's no easy way to refill them. Canon carts
seem a heck of a lot bigger for a lower price, no chipping on the Canon
and the print head is removable.
My Japanese Epson (I live in Japan) has identical carts to my brother's
Epson in the UK. My carts cost around 1000 yen each ($9) my brother's
carts cost around $25, but my carts won't work in his printer.
Archival inks are a scam. By the time you've proved these inks last
longer, there'll be A2 sized photo quality laser printers for the price
of today's A4 2400dpi printers.
Get yourself one of the better Canons.
