The big problem also with a three color cartridge lik our Stylus color
600 is usually one color will get used more than the others and
therefore leaves the rest unuseable. The later epsons use separate ink
tanks (C64,C84) and I wonder if there is any change on the ink useage
there. At least it stops printing before the ink runs out, unlike the
HP at work when after ruining a print job because the cartridge started
skipping halfway through, randomly enough to wonder if it's really out
of ink or just dirty. Epson also has an ink shelf life. Still the
prints are fantastic. I wonder if price per page is really that much
more than other brand printers?
