Hey, maybe someone will figure out how to take it apart, spray paint it black and then put the silkscreen letters back onto it. Wow, that'd be neato! Maybe someone can look for a place like this.
See previous post.

Kneeforu....
I have read where others have had clogging problems with their printers. I have not experienced this. I am on my 3rd set of ink cartridges, use only epson inks and paper, and have not had any problem with clogging. I do not run my ink completely out, at under 10%, I replace, I follow the instructions implicitly. I have the printer located on its own tabe in a corner, so as to not expose it to "hazard duty" and keep the covers closed when not in use. I do not keep it powered up continuously, only when I'm preparing to print.
I am sure that I made the right choice for me.

It has less resolotion and twice the droplet size of a 2200. And only 6 colors. It does go 44" wide though. |

But are the pictures better ?
A Canon 1D has a whole lot less resolution and bigger pixels than a Pentax Optio S4. I know which one I'd rather own.
I've got samples from both a Chromira and an Epson 9600 and have to say the Chromira blows away the inkjet printers in terms of output clarity and detail.
This chart is quite a useful comparision - though the best comparision is to get some samples and look at them yourself.
In general though, I agree with what Morgan wrote, there is no such thing as the 'best' printer. There are a variety of great printers, but it very much depends on what you want to print.
I'd use a Chromira if I wanted good glossy prints, I'd use a 9600 or 10000 if I wanted good matte finish prints and I'd use a Piezography based printer if I wanted really good digital black and white output.
I use an Epson 780 for great, quick 8x10s and I use an HP Deskjet 932C to print maps.

It would be badassest if it was black AND had flames painted on it's side. A cup holder wouldn't hurt for that kind of money.

I was using the 2200 for a while at work and got the 875 (1 year newer than 2200) for home. Both have similar nozzle assembly and both clog although all instructions and supplies from Epson are obeyed. On the fifth set of cartriges the 875 died - I had to replace the print head and it was really something going through with Epson support for an off-warranty printer. Initially they quoted me more than the printer cost me brand-new, but fixed it for free after I sent complain to epson.jp and threatened to forward this story to Canon :-)))) My only concern left is speed - Canon promises much faster but I never had experience with Canon...

Wow! You'd have to buy three of these printers, one with each ink type to get it all. I'm going to line these bad boys up in my family room!

Is this clogging issue due to periods of nonuse? |

In the case of 2200 - yes, in the case of 875 - no, it started failing during heavy usage and in the end I wasted two cartriges to clean the head with no effect. I have disassembled it and pressure-cleaned myself but it did not help. It looked like it was the problem with piezo-emmitters, the nozzles were all open and clean.
