The comparison to previous model
I considered this printer comparable to:
- Epson T50
- Epson Stylus Photo T60
- Epson P60 Printer
- 6 colors the Epson Artisan
Compare the printer above, a slight difference in performance in speed but in print quality, I considered it both incredible.
The only difference between the Epson L800 and compared model is the continuous ink system. The Epson L800 uses original continuous ink system (built-in to the printer) and covers 1 year warranty from supplier while the compared model don’t have that features.
If you want to convert your Epson Stylus Photo Printer into Bottomless ink System (CIS), you have to buy from third party manufacturer which Epson automatically voids your printer warranty.
