I have, or more had, an Epson Stylus C58 printer. Bought at Computer Plaza.

I would not recommend these. The cartridges are very small. After I had these big storage tanks (how you call them?) attached I had nothing but problems. Seems that others have faced similar problems with this brand.

Here the thread that I posted when I had problems with this printer: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Printer-Repa...l=epson+printer

After I followed up the advice given, the printer worked fine for about 10 pages and then the problems came back.

A lot of printers with the ink tank system give problems that has got nothing to do with the printer, just with the inferior ink, original cartridges are expensive but won't give you this trouble.

I would not agree with that in general.

Each printer brand requires a different ink in terms of consistency. Some can be used with dye ink only, some can also be used with pigment or even sublimation ink.

I have been using the CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) or bulk ink supply system for quite a while with 2 different printer brands and obviously with 2 different inks without any trouble. Printed thousands of pages without any single problem.

Most of the printers with the small cartridges (with integrated printer head) are designed to print a small amount of pages (max. 10 -20) otherwise the cartridge will overheat and burns internally.

Print few pages, wait few minutes and than print again = that's the secret with the CISS systems.

Printers with separate cartridges ( 1 per color) do not have those problems due to a different printer head design.

Lastly - do not buy a cheap ink! How goes the saying in Thai? Cheap no good, good no cheap - and that's true. A decent 100 ml CISS ink will cost around 250 Baht compared to the cheap one which one can buy for 60 Baht - and kills the printer head.

My 5 cents
