Another vote against Epson for all the reasons above.

The picture quality from the two Epsons I owned was great but I got sick to death of the print nozzles blocking up. As they're (used to be?) built in rather than attached to the ink cartridge they couldn't be replaced without major expense.

Current printer is a Canon. Picture quality was also very good but it's just packed up after less than two years... I'm also p'd off about how long the prints last if they're not behind glass. They seem to fade and discolour really quickly, like less than a year.

I'm going to buy this HP all in one at the weekend. Wouldn't normally buy from PCWorld but you get the web price instore if you take in a reference number from the website. That makes it just about the cheapest around...

I'v got a HP7762 and had no problems, would go HP route again.

we have nearly all HP's A1, A3 & A4 your right about changing the heads at the sametime as the cartridge, we never use re-fills or other makes of cartridge. I have a officejet d145 at home it does everything print/fax/scan/copy averagely well, I have an Epson for photo printing.

I would like an A3 laser but so far they still look out of my range, unless anyone has seen any bargains.

Probably doesn't help having the cartridges refilled, one of the most common reasons for blocked nozzles, but given the choice I've always gone with HP/Canon engines

How interesting - the issues some seem to have with nozzles blocking is one I have never had with the epsons i've used and i've had 3. The reason I changed from HP was the exact opposite of what you guys are expereining. My HP used to block all the time
I defer to those with more experience in this matter - but i'll stick with me budget epson for now
