Epson R220 compared to Epson R260

Epson R220 compared to Epson R260

2007-01-05 by p3guru32371

I am a bit late getting on the R220 bandwagon, and I at this point I
cannot find a new or factory refurb'd R220 online.  It appears that
the R220 has been replaced by the R260.

My question is "Does anyone know of a dedicated b+w inkset for use
with the R260?"

Thanks
Cory

Not yet.  But, the refurb R340 is still available for abut $70, and it uses the same carts as the R220.  So, you have lots of choices of inks.  I have both printers, and they work great.

Cory;

Not only are there no inksets yet, there are no carts, and no chip 
resetter, though I'm sure there are folks out there working at it 
hard. The refurbed 340 seems to be your only choice at this point, 
but I wouldn't wait too long.

In addition to the R340, the RX600 and RX620 all-in-ones use the same
cartridges as the R220. Right now, the Epson store has both, one
refurbed and the other new.

As mentioned here before, R220's and R340's have been seen recently at
Ritz Camera retail stores. (aka Wolf Camera aka The Camera Shop aka
Kits Camera...)

It's been mentioned before I think, but check your local Ritz Camera 
and their other labels Wolf Camera etc.  They had a ton of R220s in 
stock over the past few years practically giving them away with the 
purchase of a DSLR.  I bought two from my local store and the other 
week they still had two more on the shelf @ $90.  Call a store direct 
and see if they'll check with other individual stores, not the main 
online source.

The refurb R340 (with new warranty) is going for $69 from the Epson store.  It's a bit nicer printer than the R220, as well.

Thanks for all the info.  I went ahead and picked up the R340 (having 
the built in card reader is going to be nice, in that i can get rid 
of one item from my desk) refurbed and grabbed a set of MIS neutral 
inks for it.  I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl.

Thanks again.
