Hi all, opions only, i've been subbing for 4 years and in that amount of time i've had 5 epson printers, first printer was epson 1800, now on epson 1400, i find these ok, but in the last 11 months i've brought 3 epson 1400 printers, first printer was in feb 2011 lasted me till nov 2011 (will replace as the place i brought it gave extended warranty no matter what happens exchange policy), 2nd printer brought nov 2011 lasted me till jan 2012 (2 months, motor went on it, and didn't take warranty out on it) but it did it's job and printed over 700+ images for me during the xmas sales, brought new in jan 2012.
i've heard ricoh are much better, and im humming and arrring about swapping over to ricoh, but i problem is this, they cost more and i don't know how well they last with big bulk printing, i print about 5 images daily (not a lot) but over time it adds up, and obviously at xmas time the last quarter of the year (oct to Dec) it is more like 15 to 25 a day.
anyway my question is, is the ricoh better or would it be better to stick with epson and purchase 2 a year, how long would the ricoh last, what is like printing loads of stuff daily, any info much appreaciated (sorry for any spelling mistakes)
thanks
harry
