I have been singing the praises of Epson since I got my R1800.
However... the ink tank issue that was mentioned. There was a class action law suit against Epson over this and anyone who was a part of it got a credit to buy like 2 new tanks of ink. What Epson did to correct it was to update the drivers so that you can print after the printer says it's low on ink.
Now, I love my R1800 when it's working properly. When it works it's got outstanding print quality. But at present time I cannot get that quality because I'm having horrid banding problems and I've done everything I know (and then a few other things others suggested) to correct the problem. The printer is 5 years old.
So great quality on that line, but I'm not so sure about the longevity at this point. Then again, I am annoyed because I can't print right now.
If you've had an Epson for five years, you've been living on borrowed time!!
