More than a year ago I bought one of the Epson "Ecotank" printers. The 
promise was that the ink would be much cheaper. They were not kidding! 
It came with, I think, two bottles of each color and three or four of 
the black. We are just now getting ready to put in the second bottle of 
the black. The ink it came with will likely last us 2-3 years (I think 
they estimate 1 year).

It is not perfect -- it will sometimes stop to reset itself or whatever 
and sits there grumbling for a minute or two... which is not bad but 
when you are waiting for a printout it can be annoying. And I prefer 
printers with a touch screen for ease of use -- its tiny screen and 
menus are hardly ideal, but also far from a deal breaker for us.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
