I've had dozens of printers over the years, all brands and styles..
my wife is a graphic artist, and she loves her Epson R800; just a fancy version on the R200 our European friends are talking about..
HP ink is a fortune, and the quality of their stuff is nothing like it used to be; much cheaper and flimsier..
And, not only are epson carts cheaper than HP, most of their printers have individual carts, so when yellow runs out, you dont have to buy a "new color cart" like you do with HP..
I use a Xerox Phaser 8400, with the solid ink sticks, which is technically a color laser..its expensive, but a real workhorse, and I use it for work and for play..photos are just a bit less vivid than the wifes' epson..
Lexmarks are noisy, and their cartrdiges are very expensive, and Canon's are ok, but hard to service, and not everyone carries their carts..
All things equal, I say get an Epson..good balance of value, and quality is right there at the top with any other brand..
