Hello everyone
This is my first post here, I need to get a new printer and, since I have always used hp, I'm a bit clueless on the other 2 brands. The reason I'm switiching brands is my last 2 printers died only 2 days after warranty, even with brand cartridges and regular printing (first printhead died, second something in ink distribution ruptured and it drowned in black ink) and also very poor customer service.
Since I can't really understand the specification sheets I'll share the ones I've been looking at and hopefully you'll be able to give some input on the difference between the various models.
Main features I looked for:
Epson expression premium xp 530 - 85 euros
(Oranges cartridges, very hard to find non oem)
Epson expression premium xp 605 - 80 euros
(Polar Bear cartridges, easy to find non oem)
Canon:
Pixma MG5650 - 65 euros
Pixma MG6650 - 80 euros
Pixma MG6450 - 75 euros
Pixma MG5550 - 70 euros
(Easy to find no oem for all of them)
I've noticed that all canon are bigger then the epsons but as I'm looking to get the most quality for the price, the looks are not that important.
