Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

With much sadness yesterday, I had to pronounce my
trusty 875dc deceaded, time of death 3:03pm.  

As this was the workhorse printer that my wife and I
share, it needed immediate repacement.  Great, I
thought, I'd just run out and buy one of the C82's. 
Unfortunatly they were all out of stock except for the
display so I picked up a C84 (thinking that they were
the same beast but a better model).

Long story a bit longer, the printer was dead on
arrival.  As I looked closer at the printer itself, it
is a really shoddy model, not in the same league as
the C82.  As I did not want to repeat this process, I
brought it back and exchanged it for an Epson 825
which uses the same (dye) cartridges as the 870/875dc
(which I still have a stack of) This was a pleasant
surprise, as the canned profiles were spot on out of
the box.  

So the moral is, if you would like to try out the C82
- get one before they are gone, because the C84 is not
a very impressive replacement model.

So, back to the beginning, If anyone wants the 875dc
for printing black only, you can have it for the cost
of shipping (contact off list please), but the cyan
channel is dead.
