thanks alot for the replies...terry do you like the cx4800 and are you satisfied with the way it prints and transfers..and anyone else that owns this printer how does it work for you......the doc
I've had the CX4800 for about 7 weeks. It gets used daily for business printing and is my backup t-shirt printer. Maybe 20 - 40 full pages per day.
I only bought the CX4800 because I knew I wasn't going to put a bulk ink system on this printer and it was only $20 more than the C88.
Uses same inks as C88, etc. So ink will cost less (versus 6-colors). I like that if I run out of ink I can get ink easily. I order at buy.com right now and if you get the value-pack you also get 50 free sheets of 4x6 paper (plus free shipping).
Scanner is just as good as my older stand-alone. The camera flash card download to my computer was really fast and easy. B/W or color copier is handy.
I don't expect this printer to last more than a year, but if it does...that's great.
Per reading reviews...this model was not a lemon (other CX's were).
Also, there's a Y group "Epson_Printers" in case anyone wants to get into technical stuff, tweaks, fixing your own, cleaning.
The only downside is seems to eat up ink really fast. I'm blowing through 2 blacks for every color. I seem like I'm changing carts all the time. I have an older Epson 900 that has bigger carts...so guess I've been spoil for nearly 10 years (that's how long my 900s have been chugging away).
