Hello hoggers, my 7 year old Epson all-in-one printer finally made its last print today. I have been in the market for a new all-in-one that prints great photos. My Epson was very good and I would definitely buy a new model. However, I am looking for advice on other brands, Canon, Brother, etc. The printer is for home use and my budget is up to $500.00. Hogger input would be greatly appreciated.
My experience with Eason has been excellent, especially with how long the ink cartridges last. Right now, I have a Workforce Pro 8700 which is great (when I bought it a year ago, it was on sale for $500; they then discontinued them and I see they seem to be back, but at $1,000, which is out of your budget range). I also have an ET-4760 which I just got and it seems to be working well. Can use up to 8 1/2 x 11 inch photo paper and colors, etc. Seem great. I have personally never been happy with HP, especially with ink usage/cost, but their “instant ink” product might help with that.
I do think that all the big brands make good products, I would go with the best combination of features and price you can find, making sure that consumables are available - worthless if you have the best printer but can’t get the ink :-(
