My last epson experience was about 5 years ago, (edit: holy cow maybe more like 10+ years ago. why does time go so fast?) so they may have gone downhill, appreciate the update. I had 2 in a row and both were good with Linux support and general lack of fussiness.

It also might be more their large format printers. I remember it being a whole thing that they’d leave ~20% of the ink in these $100 cartridges for print shops.
