James, I have just done the same convert to inkjet over the last few months and it is so frustrating with the Epson printers that are good, granted, but the heads clog up for fun if you don't use them on a regular basis. I went through a set of brand new cartridges on a DX5000 when I tried to clean the heads....yes 5 times and the cartridges are empty...and no printing!!! I subsequently discovered that the cartridges only hold 3.5ml of ink!!!
However, I have overcome the problem of cost by buying a continuous ink system for the DX which costs the price of a set of Epson cartridges but holds 20-30 times the ink and is refillable at $4 per colour to refill the containers to 100ml. So, use it or loose it, and if you use it then take a look at CIS. OK the external containers may not look brilliant but they result in ultra cheap printing.

We'd like to get a new printer for home that will do color, and I was thinking of a LaserJet, but maybe an inkjet would be an option. Has anyone had a good experience with a MFP inkjet with a flatbed document feeder option. James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.
