Epson inkjet printer

[god2007]

I am planning to buy an inkjet printer for home use. Main users will be my school going children for prints related to school work. Inkjet preferred over laser because capability to print color.

I have shortlisted two models of epson: TX121 (price Rs.3500/-) and L200 (price nearly 10K) Flipkart links are below and I will buy from local dealers.
Flipkart: Epson - L200 Multifunction Inkjet Printer: Printer

Flipkart: Epson Stylus - TX 121 Multifunction Inkjet Printer: Printer

the L200 has an advantage of reusable ink tanks thus reducing the cost of operation. It is said that cost of printing is only 25 paise per copy.
Does any of the members of the forum is using the said printer. If so please post their experience

I will strongly recommend L200 because it has refillable ink bottles somewhat akin to Continuos Ink Supply System (CISS). Modern inkjet printers have chipped cartridges which are not refillable.

When buying a printer think about "How much printing will you be doing? ":

• If you are going to print less than 10 pages per month, forget the printer.
• Printer needs to be used often. If not, inks dry up.
• Even if inks don't dry up, cartridges have expiry date.
• Even if one cartridge expires/dries up, the printer may refuse to print. HP is notorious in this.
• As mentioned above, modern inkjet catridges cannot be refilled.
• Inks are costly.
• It may be cheaper to get docs printed at a local shop. But there is invonvenience involved.
