I have to print an whole media project off with all colourful la-di-da borders because "The exam board like it to be pretty" but my printer is utterly naff. It's ok for printing words but whenever I print colours I get streaky lines through it and stuff. It looks entirely unpresentable!
I have an Epson stylus 640, it is, admittedly, a dinosaur of a machine and it does have its archaic charms, but I cannot be doing with it any more! I am going to have to root around in the loft for some glossy paper as when I print on that there arent any marks in the colours (I think because it is shiny the rollers smudge the ink and fill the gaps).
Anyway, how much are decent printers nowadays, I might invest.

And when you wanna print something on screen thats red, it comes

Either the cartridge needs changing or it is colour-blind, bless it.
Mine still works ok, and to say I have had it 5 years it isn't in bad condition at all. I am printing like 30 pages on it now and it IS coping, the quality isnt too great though, sadly.

Those are good. Its like feeding paper into it, it comes straight out in colour. Takes about 20 seconds for a colour piece.
