After 100 years you propably will not sue them.

/I have just finished printing an entire exhibition for the local
gallery. (Other photographer?s images - about 70 Super-A3 prints) on a
Canon i9950 printer with Epson paper and the quality is astonishingly
good. Everybody has commented on how happy they are with the printing./
/I bought 5 of these for the college about a year ago and they have
never needed print heads or nozzle cleaning or any maintenance at all,
other than buying inks. The inks also seem to last well. I used 17
cartridges to make the prints. /
/I pay about $10.00 a cartridge but they?re probably cheaper in the
U.S. So it cost me just under $3 a print./
/Canon claim a lifespan of 100 years for their ?Chroma-life? inks. (If
stored correctly)? Who knows?/
/I?ve seen tests where they claim that it will only last 20 years,
framed and on display with UV glass etc./

Hi all,
I am sure this topic has come up a few times, but technology
changes, so..
I am thinking of buying a new printer, instead of my old Epson 1290.
Of course longevity (pigment based inks?) is one concern. I also
have some
problems with clogging of the noozles, so this is a concern too.
Of course
usable color space, price, individual color cartridges, etc. are also
concerns.
At the time I bought the 1290, there was only one way to go ...
Epson. Later
I heard that there are also some Canons.. But this may be old news
now.
So I would like to hear from people what printers they use, and
how they
rate them.
BTW, snapshot printing and pictbridge is not important for me, but
using
different papers (eg. watercolor) is important.
Thanks for the help.
