Im in the market for a new color printer. I am replacing my incredibly-expensive-to-run Epson C40UX which I mostly used for invoices.



The Epson printed photo quality for 4x6 prints but after that it gets a little dicey. Oh yeah, and it costs a mint to keep this thing full of ink b/c of its TINY ink cartridges.



Any suggestions, my price range is around $300CAN (or ~$200US).



- OSX support is mandatory, I rebuilt my iBook and punted 9.2 to get some more space on the HD.

- Ideally it would work with a PC (98/2000) as well, but that shouldn't be a problem.



I would appreciate any real world usage reports, approximate ink cartridge prices, or whatever you may have to offer.



Thanks in advance y'all

    I've had great luck with HP's printers (I had an epson color something 800 before, which pales compared to my HP 950C - the epson broke down)... good picture quality, good compatibility in OS X and PCs, ink tanks are much larger than epson's, and mechanically it works better than the epsons... more compact too...
