Hello,
I want to buy a A3 photo printer that delivers quality prints at reasonable cost. I am considering the following options:
- Epson R1800. However with 8 ink not too big cartridges at 15EUR each I am afraid it is very expensive in use!
- Canon Pixma IX4000. Reasonably priced 4 color printer with is said to have outstanding quality and is said to perform as good as a GOOD 6 color printer. Seperate inktanks. Seems cheaper in use to me. Nearly same quality?
- Buy an old and cheap second hand A3 printer (epson or canon) and work with refill sets to reduce costs. I would only dare to risk this with an old cheap printer. Which one you'd recommend for this?
Any comments on this? Thanks in advance! I plan to frame A3 size pictures and hang them on to my walls, so output has to be good, and should not fade!
Thanks in advance,
Bas Hamstra.
