Bear with me on this one, folks, I want to make sure my Google ranking on this post is good and high.

So, Thursday night, I’m going to print something out on my printer recently unclogged by proximity…and I get more streaks. Dammit.
(Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks.)
So it’s time to bring out the cleaning fluid I purchased from fixyourownprinter.com. Followed all of the directions, and….nothing. Printer is no longer a going concern.
(Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks Epson sucks.)
Let me just say that I don’t blame the Laser Service folks in the least, which is why I still link them above. Their fluid clearly works…I got some ink on my fingers in the process of all of this cleaning, and out of curiosity I put a little of the fluid on a paper towel, and it does indeed break it down and clean it right off, better than rubbing alcohol, even. Their stuff works. It’s just that Epson makes a crappy printer with an ink formulation prone to clogging, and once it does, you’re screwed. The days of Epson being a brand known for quality products are over.

And so (Epson sucks) it is with great optimism (Epson sucks) that I shall spend today deciding (Epson sucks) between two Canon’s: the PIXMA MP510 and (Epson sucks) the PIXMA MP600. I also shall not (Epson sucks) be recommending (Epson sucks) an Epson printer (Epson sucks) ever again. They’ve (Epson sucks) made (Epson sucks) a (Epson sucks) sworn (Epson sucks) enemy.
Oh, and Epson sucks.
POSTSCRIPT REDUX: I splurged and went with the PIXMA MP600. Bigger display, and better and more conveniently located controls; it should be here this coming week. I’m excited. And Epson still sucks.
Their consumer-level printers have been going sharply downhill for the last five years or so. We’ve had a handful at work and one at my house that have all kicked the bucket within one or two years of purchase, usually due ot mechanical failures. And none of these are exactly heavily used.
I hear their high-end wide format printers are fine but I’ve had no reason to give them a try, and if I did need one I’d probably recommend HP or another competitor out of spite.
Epson sucks.
Epson sucks!
Oh..and BTW…Epson sucks. :)
