My previous printer was an Epson and worked flawlessly for six years or more. At one time Epson was supposed to be a top of the line printer, but now most of my friends who do this professionally say I really should look into Canon. It will be used for color and B&W printing, no larger than 13" X 19". Right now I am looking at the specs for both the ip8720 and P400 any recommendations? I do not need and "fancy" features such as roll printing, wireless or network capabilities. Quality of the print is what's important. Thanks NOTE: Perhaps just some pointers to how to troubleshoot my current printer might be all that's needed -- teleportation kills |

It's not hard to figure out why. most canon printers have the heads in the ink cartridge, which gets replaced every time the ink is replaced. even if the heads did burn out, it's easy to fix. replace the ink. epson heads *will* burn out if the clean cycle is run too many times in a row. |

That is a major part of your problem. If you power it down from the control panel the printer parks the print head and then caps it. If you just shut it down the ink in the nozzles will dry and clog them. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

They all have caps that protect the printhead when the printer powers down using the printer power button, if power is removed from the wall this cannot happen and there is a risk of the heads drying out. In some cases the power down cycle can take several seconds while the printer performs a short head clean to further reduce the chance of dried out heads. |

Epson use piezoelectric technology in their ink printer heads, they do not get hot. Epson printheads are far more likely to clog because of the very tiny nozzles. Long cleaning cycles can be necessary to recover clogged heads.The upside is generally superior print quality resulting from their technology. |
