Hi folks

My R220 died recently wasnt too impressed in the speed it printed on cd's anyways. My old Ip4000 was the best seemed alot solid and lasted longer than the r220.

I need to know if anyone has the R360 i think the replacement to the R220 and if its any better?

Cheers delboy

Are you sure about compatibles for this one m8y ?

Last time I looked the only compatibles were chipless and it was necessary to transfer the chips, from your originals, which was a bit hit 'n miss.

Yes the IP4300 is a pain you also lose the status monitor unless things have changed, DELBOY pay that little extra and get an epson R340 (£89) they take the same carts as the R200/220/300/320 so only £4 a set. well worth it in the long run. whatever you do don't be taken in by the price of the R265 as the ink costs £20 a set here in the UK.

You could always get a CIS system for the R265 rather than get ripped off with the ink prices but i personaly dont like the way they batter of the side of the printer when printing using the disc tray.
