Sally, In my not so humble opinion Epson is the ONLY way to go for a color printer. I've been using them since their very first Stylus color printer hit the market oh so many years ago. They're ALL plastic so don't let that bother you. It's not what it's made of, it's what it can output that counts. I use the 900 and the 2200 but there are many out there to pick from in different price ranges. Happy shopping and good luck.

It's made of cheap plastic, it frequently doesn't work right, I have to spend a lot of time figuring out why, more time correcting it. Cartridges are hard to find, output is okay but I have to print test after test after print to get a decent print, the manual isn't clear about the options. I had to call Epson to get a manual. It's not made for the kind of printing I need. > > I'm pretty sour on Epson, but will take all recommendations under consideration. I'm hoping to find something under $600. > > --Sally > >
