Hiya, my old Epson Stylus Photo EX has finally given up the ghost and I'm looking for some recommendations on what to replace it with. Besides it was getting harder to find the sepia replacement cartridges. Speaking of which, I'd prefer something with separate colour cartridges this time, rather than a five in one like the Epson. I need to be able to produce photo quality output on the new one.

Cheers,
Lt Dan.

i have a canon pixma mp800

usual all in one jobby, scanner, printer, copier. Also prints to cds / dvds and scans in 35mm negatives.

takes 5 carts, 1 small black, 1 big black, 1 magenta, 1 cyan and 1 yellow.

original carts are around £9 each but you can pick up cheaper ones, only thing you have to do is take the chip off the original and stick it on the replacement. Bit of a faff, but when you are saving £6 a cart, i dont mind the faff.

wish i had waited a few more months before getting it though, cos they then released the mp800r, which has networking built in.

Cheers Octal, I'll check out the specs of the Canon.
