    730WD Turning itself Off following print head cleaning

    If you have hosed the printer and need to replace it, this is worth a look IMO. Currys and PC World have them for 250 if you don't want to wait on WEX http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-epson-stylus-photo-1500w-printer/p1529201 It is out of stock at most places which list them at a decent...

    Got an Epson 1280 for 20$ :) What compatible cartridges can I use?

    Could be worth getting a couple of the cheap sets to use when the dreaded head cleans need doing. Swap them for the inkowl ones, run the head cleans until the nozzle check is OK then take them out and put them in a sealed plastic bag, then carry on using the inkowl ones for printing.

    Continuous Ink Supply System (ciss) or Refillable carts Epson PX730WD?

    If it were me, I would take the offer from ink-system, especially if it is near enough to take the printer back if you get any problems running the CISS Have heard good things about cityinkexpress.co.uk both for service and after sales.

    Epson P50 or Epson 1500W

    I have an R2880 and Epson say it uses a higher quality ink set to the 1500W so would produce better images, however, as my printers only get to see genuine ink if it comes in the box, I suppose that theory is out of the equation? The 1500 droplet size is 1.5pl against 3pl for the R2880 so, if...
