I opted for a Lexmark color injet (the z53). I have never been satisfied with my Stylus Color 600's rendering of reds, which was one of the reasons I chose the Lexmark. When I'm a bit more flush, I will also buy one of the Lexmark laser printers (the PostScript variety) because most of my printing is text and I need speed and PostScript compatibility. Lexmark also supports Linux with drivers (yes, I know the inkjet drivers are binary only -- BFD); combine support with price and features, and Lexmark won hands down over Epson.
