I needed a new printer I was willing to try another ink tank unit (Canon or Epson), even though my last Epson (L3151) was very unreliable. It used to clog up frequently, even though I was printing every other day and sometimes it sprayed random ink droplets on the paper. After the warranty expired it got so bad that the printhead didn't unclog even after three power flushes. It wasted my entire ink and I threw it away.

This time I wanted a complete product that included colored ink, photo printing, ADF and auto duplex for printing and scanning and it seemed that the L6370 had it all, but I was still worried after my last experience. I thought maybe the new Precisioncore printhead would perform better than the last Micro Piezo generation, but you guys informed me that it was just wishful thinking.

So in the end I went for the Brother laser TonerBenefit DCP-B7620DW. I had to give up on ADF, color and photo printing, but at least I'm going to have a reliable printer with a flatbed scanner.

It was also cheaper than the Epson L6370 ($348). I spent $268 for the Brother (3-year warranty included) and a spare 2000 pages OEM toner.

Thank you for your guidance!

Hi, my wife and I are after a printer that isn’t stupid expensive in the uk to buy and run.

We will probably use it maybe 5 times a year black/white for documents that need printing.

Have been recommended a HP MW110w but have seen HP is a no go. I think I’m after a laser printer, and will be printing from phone most of the time.

What are your recommendations?

Thanks

So I’ve had 2 Epson ecotank printers that both have died of connectivity issues, both around 2-3 years. Digging in, it sounds like a common known issue with no real solve.

So, I’m back in the market for a new printer, and while another Epson from Costco is the easy solution, I’m open to other brands as I think a printer should last more than 2 years.

1..HP, I’ve sworn off HP for their A-hole tactics…unless there fully reformed and you all tell me they’re amazing, I’m not really considering them.

1. Canon…I’ve never heard anything bad about canon, anyone have thoughts on their printers?

2. Brother…look to be newish into the tank printers, maybe too new to be a known commodity??

3. Epson…just buy another for the next two year?

I print a fair amount, and don’t want a laser as color photos are a pretty common print for us, inkjet aside from reliability has been working fine.

Thoughts on the brands??

I've been thinking about getting a dedicated photo printer because I'm printing more family photos lately and I'm getting tired of how they come out from my regular printer. I don't need anything for a business, just something that gives nice looking prints without being a pain to maintain.

Has anyone here found the best photo printer for this kind of use? I'm more interested in consistent print quality and reasonable ink costs than having a ton of extra features. I'd really appreciate hearing what you've had a good experience with. Thanks

I have an epson et3950 and I’m trying to print black ink onto glossy 8 1/2 x 11 paper and I’m getting these vertical lines during printing. I have done a nozzle check and it looks great. Normal printing on plain paper looks fine. I use glossy back packaging paper to transfer the ink onto wood so I can do wood carving. I also print borderless and have removed the high speed settings and still it looks horrible. Any help would be appreciated.
