The inks for epson switched over to archival / water resistant back in '02.

The only real standout issues were failed units coming from specific countries. I used to sell them at staples when I worked there. HPs, my Dad has a Canon, ink-jets don't seem to last, if you get 5-years out of them they are doing pretty well. Holding my breath when we approach the 3-year mark with it though. It's been running for about 18-months now, and seems to be better than the 1400 was. It handles thicker stock well, my wife runs watercolor paper through it for some of her art work. It's nice to have a printer that can print up to 13-inches wide, and also can print on CD-roms, if you need it. It takes the same inks, and the cost of the new printer as not unreasonable. With a healthy investment in ink in the house, we looked for other options, but the 1430, seemed to be the answer. After a web search we found it's a semi-common occurance with them. It suddenly bricked up one day, shortly after buying new ink. We also used it for everyday printing, my son's homework, etc. Never had much of a clogging issue with it. We had a 1400 for about 3-years, and it worked pretty well, it was our only printer, my wife makes greeting cards from her artwork, she runs a fair amount through it, in volume, but sporadically.
