Thing about the Epson is that the printhead clogs easily if you print sporadically, and the printhead is relatively difficult to find, and more expenisve. On the other hand, the the printhead cartridge on the Canon BJC-3000 can be replaced for <$40, is sold at the major retail chains, and 4 new ink tanks come with it. Individually the canon ink tanks cost ~$10/ea with the added bonus of not having to replace a the entire ink well when only a single color runs out.
