Hi,
Any experiences with Epson L805 on this list?
Compatibility, qualty, economy - pro et contra, please.
Currently, I know there is some level of support for Linux (generic driver and utility SW available at http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule). It's all very new (25.10.2018).
It seems that CISS/ITS technology takes economy to next level comparing to older ink-jets and lasers, and that's what attracted me. But I would like to get some real-life comments from real users, if any.
TIA and best regards,

I cannot offer a review of this Epson L805 but can say that the idea of it not using cartridges is not a new idea at all. Back in 2003 a friend (now unfortunately deceased) bought the Epson 2000P to be able to print A3 photos but the idea of replacing cartridges did not appeal to him so he bought (from some company in the U.S.) what basically has now been incorporated into the L805: a set of containers containing the various dyes and connected to the printer via tubing; the container(s) were topped up as needed from bottles in the same way as shown for the L805. Naturally, it was cheaper "to run" using refillable containers than using cartrdiges. Because my friend died from a heartattack 2 years later I cannot comment on what the maintenance was/is on the containers which replaced the cartridges (at least with a cartridge you can easily replace it should the nozzle get clogged or whatever -- you know what I mean). (I, myself, have an Epson XP960 and think that it is the 'ants' pants' -- but only use it as a printer and nothing else (I have a separate scanner, also an Epson).)
