The cost of 4 toner cartridges is more than the cost of a new printer! I've since bought refill toner far cheaper, which has worked out well, so I'm using the laser printer more. But I continued to use the i860 for drafts and less important documents so as not to use too much toner. So I finally broke down and bought an HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn for important documents. ![]() The Epson was supposed to have water-resistant ink, but it isn't much better. The biggest drawback to the Canon is that the ink runs on documents that get the slightest bit wet. We needed another printer to be convenient to the kitchen, so I bought a Canon mx860, partly because it was such a good deal at the time, but also because I trusted Canon after my experience with the Canon i860-fast printing, good quality, individual ink tanks. But the Epson is good for printing wide documents and is capable of printing on CDs and DVDs. So you have little warning with the Epson that the ink truly is about to run out. And I like that Canon ink tanks are translucent, so you can see the actual ink level, unlike those for the Epson, which are opaque. ![]() (I've never printed photos on the Epson.) It seems like the Epson inks run out faster. The Canon prints twice as fast, and has much better t ext print quality than the Epson. Since buying the Canon, I've bought an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 wide-format printer, with which I've been disappointed. It uses 5 individual ink tanks, so it's more cost effective than printers that use combined color ink tanks. I don't print many photos, but the quality of those I have printed has been good to excellent. For an inkjet printer, the print quality is excellent. ![]() It lasted until a couple months ago-11 years. ![]() It was a good deal at $99 after a $30 rebate. I bought my original Canon i860 back in 2004 when my laser printer gave out and I needed a printer fast until I could research-and stand to pay for-a color laser printer.
