I myself have gotten 3 (refurbished) replacement printers from Epson to
repace my own refurb in the last 1.5 months: the first one's power light
didn't work. The second came without ink carts and was splattered with ink
inside. The third--which Epson shipped to one of its authorized dealers to
check out for me first--had banding plus cyan overspray into the paper's
margin, which the tech didn't even catch!

You gotta give Epson points for trying.
