Review: Epson Stylus C80 Printer and Ink Cartridges

Epson Stylus C80 inkjet printer is expensive to run

Do not purchase an Epson Stylus C80 inkjet printer. This Epson is very expensive to run. The print quality is very good, although the machine is a bit noisy. Don't fall for the hype that because it uses 4 separate inkjet cartridges it is cheaper to run. Either the inkjet cartridges themselves have very little ink capacity or the printer lays the ink on very thick. The Epson printer goes thru ink cartridges at an incredible rate. The Epson Stylus C80 printer's low/out of ink light is almost always on, as one or the other cartridge is always near empty.

The Epson Stylus C80 inkjet cartridges are very expensive

Epson's inkjet cartridge prices currently are:

BlackT032120$31.35CyanT032220$11.40
MagentaT032320$11.40YellowT032420$11.40

$65.55! That's a lot of money for a thimble's worth of ink.

A single empty inkjet cartridge prevents all printing

The printer has a particularly ugly feature that if any inkjet cartridge is empty it will not print at all. It is very frustrating if you don't care about print quality and just want to print a draft version. Also, the printer is sometimes incorrect and claims a cartridge is empty when in fact there is ink left. Further printing of any kind is prevented until the cartridge is replaced.

Help! Willing to work for epson cartridges. I have 4 empty cartridges to feed.
Will work for cartridges!
No Epson ink in space

Most Epson Stylus C80 printer product reviews do not look at actual cost per page

Product reviewers should not blindly echo the manufacturer's hype. Most do not check how many pages are printed per cartridge, and therefore the pages per dollar cost to run the printer. Look for reviews that compare actual maintenance costs.

CNET Epson C50 negative reviews also damn the ink costs and say it is Epson's strategy to have small ink tanks.

Complete this phrase: "Epson sucks ink like..."

Normally I would send Epson and certain reviewers, a letter. However, the ink is just too damn expensive to waste on letters. But if I decide to splurge and write one, I want to make sure my letter makes an effective statement. So, I am trying to come up with the best simile to describe the rate at which Epson C80 printers go thru ink cartridges. I have a few listed below. If you have a better one, please e-mail it to "Epson sucks ink like" <tex@i18nguy.com>, and I'll add the best ones to this page.
