I would not waste more than the cost of one set of ink cartridges if you see clogging issues in the printer output. I had mine serviced locally to try to overcome that but clogging problems progressively worsened. The gamut of new high end Epson printers is reported to be much wider than what the R1800 could deliver but that hardly is an issue for creating nicely colored prints.Īs I recall there was a built in "kill switch" having to do with saturation of the ink pad that rendered the printer obsolete after a certain amount of use. I really like the color from this printer and its ink set but I have given up on it due to head clogging. I have made many hundreds of prints, if not thousands, with the thing. It still sort of works but it takes almost an entire set of increasingly hard to get ink cartridges to unclog it to make a few prints.Įven in its prime head clogging was a pain in the print carriage and I used it then at least once a week for several years. I have one of these sitting in my garage.
