Staples has the Epson C-86 for $29.98! After rebate. (I've never used the R200, but I own 2 C-86's with MIS EZ inks. And when Paul Roark says this printer is capable of producing B&W prints as good as any printer, believe it. Out of the box with MIS EZ inks, the C-86 produces better quality prints than the 4800, IMO. I've made some excellent looking prints with the 4800, but after lots of tweaking.)

I already have two Epson C86's, but thought another would be a good move. Unfortunately, local Staples store don't have the deal you mentioned. Lemme know where your deal is.

David, That maybe because the printer Staples advertised is the C66, NOT the C86. It maybe basically the same printer as the C86, but I'm not sure. I think I've read here that the C66 can use the MIS EZ inks. Maybe Paul Roark can comment on this if he reads this post. Sorry for the mistake.

Has anybody in here tried the MIS EZ inks in the R500 as it uses the same as the C86. I have been thinking of trying that. Anthony

You can sometimes find good deals on sealed C86's on craigslist or similar classifieds - Epson was basically giving them away with camera bundles, and many people don't need another printer. Looks like they go for $35-$50 on ebay, but careful with the shipping...($20? Ouch!) Eric

Refurbished C86s are available from the Epson website for $55 (after $20) rebate. In addition, they will include a wired print server for free. The C86 refurbished warranty is the same as new. I have 2 of them (one for color, one for BW) and the printers appear new to me. I've been very happy with the performance of both. Al

If it's anything like the one they sent to me for free with my 1280,
be aware that it's parallel-port only.

Neither of mine are like that. If I were you, I'd be communicating with Epson to arrange a replacement with both ports - I'm pretty sure an error was made.

Sorry, pronoun problem. The print server, not the printer. :-)
