These things are so "mass produced", it's amazing the quality they deliver out of the box. I had a 4-color Stylus color 900 that lasted for 6 years and thousands of prints. The one just before that lasted one and a half years, again, many thousands of prints. I have 3-Epson 9000's, that I overhaul myself, putting in new print heads on average every year to 1.5 years. These beast are made like a tank, and probably will print forever, with proper care! Pigmented inks seem to wear the print heads faster than the dye inks. John Nollendorfs

I had an Epson 2000P that arrived from Adorama dead. Epson replaced it with a factory refurb even though they were replacing a brand new unit that had never been turned on. The factory refurb's print head started painting each print with magenta lines after about 30 8x10 prints. Now I refuse to pay for anything expensive from Epson. Their customer support was horrendous, and I paid for a new printer only to receive a used printer on its last leg. I guess my point is "your mileage may vary".
