The 5 color epson I threw away after less than a ream of paper because it 
jammed continually.

The old 4 color C82 had great color and I printed 2 weddings on it that I 
sold.

But after many years, its head finally failed, so an NX-515 now sits there.  
The printer is only decent, the scanner is a POS.  I'd replace it in a 
heartbeat if I knew the replacement could match that old C82's color.

Suggestions welcome...
