Why my next printer might be an Epson

This was an interesting opportunity on Payperpost, to write about which printer I prefer even if it was not Epson inkjet printers. I have two printers right now, one is an HP 750 three in one and one is an HP Photosmart 7150. I've had the 750 for quite some time now and purchased the 7150 because it did a better job in printing out photos than my three in one did. At the time, the comparable Epsons were more expensive, mainly because HP was offering an additional rebate, yet I missed paying attention to something that has been a problem with both of the HP's. The cost of the ink cartridges... I have tried the remanufactured or "generic" cartridges for both HP printers and have been very dissatisfied with the quality of those, especially the color. Infact, I have had to return cartridges because more than once there was a problem with the "off brand" cartridges and in this household where children do last minute projects you want to be able to rely on the ability to just put in a cartridge and have it work. Right now as an example I don't even bother to use the 750 for color printing since the cost of the cartridge really makes it not worth it.

In trying to be fair and thorough in writing this post I researched several sites where cost comparisons were done, Printerdb.com was one of those sites and Epson did receive their best value award for several different models. I then visited a few sites to check ink cartridge prices and Epson was less expensive than both of my two printers. I also noted the price of the Epson printers was less than the comparable HP's. So, when one of my two printers decides their time is done, I will remember to consider the cartridge price as well as quality in my decision and I will take a look at the available Epsons.
