7. Epson printers are good with ink compared to HP?

Wow, HP printers must have fallen off a cliff. Back in my civil engineering days, we used HP printers and plotters early on, eventually switching to Oce for the plotter. The HP printers stuck around for printing contracts and other documents until they were replaced by copiers. And I had an inkjet at home that did a pretty good job, too. Eventually, I went with Epson for the quality, but it was an ink hog. I ended up replacing it a couple years later with a new, improved Epson. Again, great quality but an ink hog. Between HP and Epson, I got way more out of the HP as far as ink is concerned. I wouldn't know how they are today, though.

And I still use my RPN HP 32sII calculator. They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands...
