Epson Workforce WF-7520

I'm thinking about purchasing a Epson WorkForce WF-7520 from CobraInk to replace a Workforce 1100 that I've been using over the past couple of years. Have others here had a good experience using the Workforce 7520? I really want to go with a CobraInk CISS product due to the ink cost savings. I've also had a really good experience using the WF-1100 - but it's been mis-feading a bit lately so I'm looking to make a change. Thanks.

You may be able to just clean the rollers to fix it. My methods of cleaning them are potentially damaging (running packing tape face-up that's taped down to a piece of cardstock around the edges) but there are safer kits out there. I kind of want one of the new 7XXX series just for the oversize 11 x 17 scanner, which up until now, were rare and expensive.

Cobra has a good reputation in the T-shirt transfer printing business. I personally would not use their inks in a photo printer since they are not Image Specialists inks, but if I was going to buy a new CIS for my 1100/any business printer or for heat transfers, I'd get one of theirs.

There are cleaning sprays and sheets available for roller restoration so worth doing some digging around on that basis... Mostly it's just the dust and crud from the paper clogging up the rollers that causes the problems and not really difficult to get shifted.
