HP 5150 vs. Epson C84 vs. Canon i560

[davefr]

They are all about $100.

1. Which offers best print quality?
2. Which is the least likely to clog from infrequent use?
3. Which is cheapest to operate with factory ink?
4. Which is most refill friendly?

I'd give this to the HP 5150.

2. Which is the least likely to clog from infrequent use?

HP 5150.

3. Which is cheapest to operate with factory ink?

Canon i560/Epson C84

4. Which is most refill friendly?

Don't know. I refuse to refill after the mess with my other cartridge.
Epson and Canon cartridges are cheap enough. HP cartridges can be bought at
a decent price from Costco.

HP 5150.


Canon i560/Epson C84

I think canon has a slight to noticeable edge on price.

Canon is, IMO. HP carts ar tough to refill, unless you really know
how. Epsons are chipped (as are some HP).

Out of the current under $100 lot I'd probably go more for the S830D

They are all about $100.

1. Which offers best print quality?

The one that a) doesn't clog AND b) the one that makes the smallest black
dots (likely Canon)

2. Which is the least likely to clog from infrequent use?

? One could guess that large nozzles stay clear better and print worse.

3. Which is cheapest to operate with factory ink?

The one with fix print heads and not very komplicated cartridges (likely
Canon)

4. Which is most refill friendly?

Not Epson!
