Epson 740— still a good printer!

The Epson 740 printer was one of the first really good photo printers. New during the mid 90s, the Epson 740 was around $100. At that time, I had a computer that printed via a serial port. The 740 also came with a USB connection which has worked on every succeeding generation of Mac computers I've owned— including a MacBook Pro. When new, the ink cartridges were expensive. Today, the cost of ink has come way down on eBay and sites like Databiz.com. I believe this is the reason the Epson 740 printers have held their value. Another reason is reliability. I gave mine constant use for over 10 years and it never failed. I broke it and bought another for parts— however, when the parts printer arrived, I discovered that it still worked fine! For photos, I've found that the ink will smear on cheap paper. I have gotten very good results with HP paper. If you don't need wireless capability, or fax and scanner functions, the Epson 740 is still a good color printer!
