I am hoping for some advice on a durable printer. I have been having awful luck with Epson printers: the paper feed mechanism wears out in a matter of months. I print from 400 to 800 postcards a month to promote our business. I use various name brand two-sided paper of 11 to 11.8 mils thick. Usually when I run postcards, I try to print them over the span of a couple evenings at a hundred or so a night.
I was not surprised when the Epson R300 could not keep up with such demand. After barely a month on the job, the feed mechanism died. Epson replaced the unit under warranty, but I realized I needed something heavier duty to keep me in business. In December I moved up to the Epson 2200. The results are quite good, but today: the paper feed mechanism went south. It will not feed photopaper, my card stock or simple old plain paper.
As always, your opinions are respected and much appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill McMannis
