Hi ! Friends,
I purchased this printer in 1996, and I am still thankful to my hardware dealer, who was also my friend who recommended me Epson lx 500, initially I was going to purchased TVS but he strongly paid emphasis on Epson saying that I will remember him for years as this printer is best an all manners, and he was right.
I am using it daily (constant except sundays) as I am an accountant and I want printouts daily, and I tell you this printer is amazing, from 6 years I had only pay for one service, and the only other expense I had occured is of ribbons, which I change once or twice a month, otherwise this printer just go on and on and on.
All the parts of the printer is still very active and strong, I had never found any problem whatsoever, the quality of printout, the head, the cartidge, all are still working safe and sound, and it has also 4 fonts in-built which give a good effect to the document printed.
