The Epson FX-1180 dot matrix printer provides high-speed impact printing and efficient continuous paper handling for demanding print jobs. The wide-carriage version of Epson's FX-880, this printer is perfect for printing databases, inventory reports, accounting files, program listings and large-volume mailing labels. This model differs in performance and features from its predecessor, the FX-1170. The FX-1180 is faster, handles more multipart forms, and includes eight built-in bar code fonts. The FX-1180 takes advantage of Epson's proven paper handling technology with adjustable dual push tractors/paper paths that continuously feed paper at 26.5 ms per line. It makes automatic paper thickness adjustments for multi-part forms (up to seven), and prints on continuous paper and labels up to 40 cm wide.
Advantages: Clear colours Disadvantages: A bit pricey
...Printers are marvellous things when they work!We bought an Epson DX4000 a couple of years ago after problems with our HP printer. It was reduced in Tesco and as it is a photo copier and printer we thought it was a bargain but decided to check out the cost of the cartridges before buying.
We have used various makes of cartridges over the years for previous printers but had been having problems and always having to clean to get good printing so we were wasting ink.
We got sample size cartridges with the printer but bought a Multipack so we were ready when a replacement was needed. The Multipack has 4 cartridges, 1 of each black, yellow, magenta and cyan. The box is blue with a picture of a Cheetah and is in the Cheetah range, there are other ranges like Monkey. Hummingbird and Seahorse makinh it easy to spot the one you want to buy...

Advantages: cheaper to buy 4 but can also buy singly Disadvantages: you have to look around for the cheapest as prices do vary
...We have a very good Epson DX6000 printer.
This printer takes 4 separate inks.
This comes in handy when just one colour gets low.
I know its low because when I go to do some printing I will get a low ink flashing sign come up and it will then show me how much ink is left and roughly how much copying I can do before it finally runs out. It will also tell me which ink is low.
I print off a lot of photographs so it is not just the black ink that runs out but the coloured ones as well.
When we first had the printer we did notice that some non epson inks were cheaper and we did think of buying them. We were then informed that if we used these on this printer that was still under guarantee they might refuse to honour the guarantee as we had not used their own brand of ink.
We therefore decided to stick to Epson...
