I tested canons and HPs a few years ago and they had crappy transparency
that took ages for the ink to dry.
HPs use thermal boiling of the ink which easily leads to heads clogged
with viscous half boiled goo. Epsons use piezo electric plungers that
don't heat the ink. Canons were thermal too iirc.
Haven't tried lexmark or other brands since. Things may be better now.
Even with a slower drying printout, the resolution may be adequate
depending on what you want. All you can do is try.
Stay away from epson stylus 680 (a fairly old model, but newer than the
stylus 400/440/460 series) because mechanically they're a piece of crap
with unreliable paper pickup.
