You may want another just to get another set of inks. Have you priced
the inks?

Here the inks are RRP $23.95 each x 6 = $143.70 and a new printer is
around $205

But thats like all printers now.

I purchased an R200 for $140. The 5 color cartridges are about $13 at
Office Max, and the black cartridge is about $18.

Yep. So far, I've been pretty happy with it. It prints great glossy
photos (haven't really played with borderless printing, though).

I copied some software CD's for backup purposes onto printable CD's
yesterday.

Using a scanner I scanned the original CD's, opened up the software
that comes with Epson R210 (Epson CD)and copied the original image.

Again, using the Epson CD software, I used the copied image to print
the image onto the backup CD.

Nearly impossible to tell the copy from the original it's that good.

John.
