which is the better printer?

[ramrod]

I have heard a lot about the Canon S900 saying its very good. Also the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 has had excellent reviews. Could anybody tell me which one they recommend is the better printer to print text, but especially photos.

i read that printers nowadays are similar in quality and the only thing they can improve on is features.

anyway, if those printers are in stock at a local best buy, head on over and turn on the fun!

ramrod, both printers are similar when you look at the actual printouts, if I were you I'd look at the cost-per-page and decide from there, hope this helps

Two things that make me prefer the Canons over the Epsons: "Single Ink" technology - even with the six-color photo printers, there are separate ink tanks for EACH color. Saves a fortune on ink. Then, print heads. Canon uses semi-permanent heads that are easily taken out for cleaning (or letting them soak on a wet towel should they ever clog up). Epson uses Piezo technology permanent heads that cost more than a new printer to replace.
