HP and Canon have marketing resources which I'd think over shadow Epson's many times over. What Epson has it a PRODUCT which overshadows HP's and Canons. You had some bad luck early on. Epson has not waited around for others to catch up they still forge ahead and lead by at least the results they get from their R&D. Canon's speed lead for what its worth has diminished as Epson I think is catching or has caught up speed wise. And that's non pigment ink printing anyway. What I'm saying is Epson's printers improve each year faster than the other guys. And every year the boxes get easier to open up and get the printers going. What the other guys have done over the past years is almost put themselves in the ball game. Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
