HP versus Epson

[Ron Parr]

ok ron,
lets get one major factor straight. we are here discussing the new
technology. i hope you have seen the new printers perform. i will buy you
dinner if you live in ny or baltimore and you go out and see this printer
perform! i am dead serious. there is no comparison to the 970/1000 or
1100. this is a fact. just like leon, i have owned 3 epson's and NEVER
problem. I have owned 2 hp's and I had a defective printer. (1000) hp is
an all around printer. epson is still light years ahead for photo
quality. ron, you were being so good lately?

Hey, I'm not arguing about print quality here. I haven't seen the output from the new printers yet.

My point is only that one shouldn't be too cavalier about the clogging question. Some people have had trouble with clogs with Epson products in the past and the more conservative consumer may want to proceed with caution until this new technology has a shake out period.

It's not a question of being "good." It's a question of getting the facts straight. No amount of arguing can erase all of the frustrated posts from Epson owners with clogged nozzles. The fact that your nozzles haven't clogged yet won't be much consolation to them.

Perhaps you're right and the newest Epsons won't have this problem. I hope you are right. However, I wouldn't bet $500 on it yet.
