Ink Jets?
OK, so in our home we have an Epson C84 Inkjet printer (two years old). We have been having problems with it and finally it just stopped printing, but not until after I had shelled out over $90 for new ink cartridges!
How much does a replacement of comparable value cost? $135 + tax - rebate . So this is another one that you have to scratch your head and try to figure out which is better, to spend $90 on ink cartridges or $135 on a NEW printer (which comes with cartridges)? I have spent far too long trying to “de-gum” this system, but I am very upset with myself for blowing that money without figuring this one out first MYSELF!
Repair? Um, unless you are under warranty with Epson, FORGET IT! Repair costs over $100 and remember how much the replacement system cost? $135, right…
Keep this in mind when you are thinking of purchasing a printer, or buying new ink cartridges. I have also been religiously buying EPSON brand ink cartridges, as I was told they won’t case the heads to “clog” (for two years evidently).
