Print for less!

A few weeks ago, while checking out accessories for the Wii and scouting for speakers, we ended up buying a new printer – an Epson Stylus T13.

The Canon Pixma printer that came free with the Kodak point and shoot we bought two-three years ago had already broken down, and though I personally don’t print out a lot of stuff from home, I figured it was okay to get a new one.

We got the converted printer for PhP 3700. Yes, it’s been converted to use a continues ink system that will help me save from ink costs. The sales tech also gave us tips on how to care for the printer and perform basic troubleshooting.

Being converted and all, our new printer has this attachment on the side:

That’s where the ink goes and where you’ll squeeze in the refill when needed. Each bottle of refill costs 80 pesos so if all colors go out I’ll only have to spend 320 pesos for a complete refill. How much is it per cartridge? For sure, one cartridge costs more than twice as all four refill bottles combined.

The print looks fab too. I’ve printed a photo of our little boy and it’s now been framed and sits atop their dining table at San Benissa. I look forward to printing a lot more photos, specially for Project Life when I get my kit. Smile

The only problem is that the printer is currently not working. I get an error that I’ve ran out of ink. I’ve done the troubleshooting that the sales tech advised but it hasn’t worked so far. We have 6 months warranty and I know this can be easily fixed (or replaced). So tomorrow we shall bring it back to the store.

I forgot the name of the store we got it from, but it’s at the lower ground level of SM Cubao where all the gadget shops are. Apart from Epson, they also carry Canon and Brother printers.
