As all we know that epson is a very know and old also but the thing is when I bought this printer 2 years back but its now iffecting my pocket wheere its cartridge is very expensive and we get output out of it. So where as ressale value is zero at todays senerio I recommend all before buying anything related to technology first see your next 4 to 5 years if u can afford price in dat times as I m sure that in the mean time they launch many other options but it should not effect the expenses.
