[cdt-l] Printing CDT maps with generic ink

[Rod]

Last year, I used off-brand ink from Office Depot for my Epson printer and 
within one tankful, the print head clogged. All of the usual attempts to 
revive it failed. A replacement head would cost more than the printer, so I 
bought a new printer. Not necessarily a great savings, depending on the 
value of the printer....

Note with HP printers, the print head is replaced with the cartridge (making 
cartridges more expensive, and many "out of ink" problems are actually 
clogged heads) while with the Canon and Epson printers there is a permanent 
print head (making the ink tanks less expensive, but a clogged print head is 
more problematic).

Subject: [cdt-l] Printing CDT maps with generic ink


I've lucked my way into a free large printer so I can print Jonathan's maps 
11 x 17, and now I've got to buy the ink.  I usually believe you get what 
you pay for, but should I really pay $100 for the real Epson ink or just go 
with $15 generic stuff?  Does anybody have any thoughts/experience as to 
whether or not generic ink runs more/the same when wet, or if it really 
looks any different?

thanks,
Garret/the Onion
