It was nice printer, not massively overpriced, but a good quality photo printer with the widely priased Claria ink system.<br \/>\nDuring installation and set-up, I filled out my details with Epson, to register my ownership. I thought that this might help with guarantees and also mean that Epson could drop me a note if new drivers became available. Of course I knew that Epson would market me with direct email. That&#8217;s fine. I don&#8217;t mind too much. Well targeted advertising emails work well.<br \/>\nSince registering with Epson, I&#8217;ve received 18 separate emails. While one or two advertise ink\/paper deals or offers on projectors, just about every single one is advertising&#8230; another printer.<br \/>\nDespite having bought a new printer less than six months ago, Epson seems hellbent on getting me to buy another new printer!<br \/>\nDo they have so little belief in their products that they think the printer I bought all the way back at the start of 2009 might have already broken? It just doesn&#8217;t make sense.<br \/>\nTry to sell me a scanner, ink, paper, photo frames, whatever&#8230; Honestly &#8211; I don&#8217;t really mind.
