[WinMac] Epson vs HP...

No competition as far as I'm concerned. The Epson's output quality has to
be seen to be believed especially on photo grade glossy
paper...photo-realistic doesn't quite sum up the effect.
As far as ink cartridges go, I've had an Epson 600 at home now for a
year, and run hundreds of prints through it and never had a problem with
nozzle failure. We do have the Epson 3000 at work, and have run thousands
of prints through it, and had nozzle failure on the black once, which
Epson fixed under warranty on site within 3 days of the problem being
diagnosed. (They actually replaed the entire printer which was quite
amusing...)
Another factor is advertising. Anyone seen any suppliers running full
page stock lists for HP lately? I don't think so... The Epsons have been
so phenomally popular esp. with the iMac that most UK suppliers barely
even mention any other inkjet manufacturers in their listings.
For more advice try UK MacUsers website at www.macuser.co.uk and search
their database of product tests. They recently tested about 15 different
printers including the bigger epsons, and the 740 came out top on value
for money etc. Go for it!
(and no, I don't work for Epson...)
Cheers, Dan Thurgood.
