Opinions about Epson EcoTank ET2800 printer?

[DPJohnson]

My Canon Pixma printer has been delivering poor printouts of late. I did a nozzle printout and it looks fine. Does the head need cleaning or do I need a new printer already? And what are your thoughts about the Epson printer in the thread title? I've heard everything from "It saves $$$ on ink" to "poor construction--won't last".

Make sure that your Canon's heads are aligned, as well as clear of clogging.

Try Auto adjustment first:

Canon : PIXMA Manuals : MX920 series : Aligning the Print Head

If that doesn’t completely solve the problem, here are instructions to adjust manually.

If you need to clean the printhead, most Canon's have easily removable printheads:

If you want a printer with ink tanks, Canon now makes them:
