My 8 year old Epson 7900 looks like it needs a head replacement. It's worked well and I have liked its print quality and general reliability (up to now). The question arises as to whether to pay the service cost for Epson to have it fixed or to buy something new. The service cost is around 40% or the price of a new machine. There's no great urgency as I can make do with my 3880 for the time being. I also use Imageprint and would not want to be without it. I feel a siren called 'Canon' calling but have no experience of their printers. I would likely want to stay with a 24" printer with a roll paper option.
Has anyone else here faced a similar dilemma and what did you decide ? Or anyone with a similar decision still to take ?
Thanks for any views.
