A3 inkjet printers
I own today a Canon i850 A4 printer and I am happy with the prints. Now I
would like an A3 printer to get bigger images and I wonder what is the best printer: Canon i9100 (6 inks), Canon i6500 (4 inks) or Hewlett Packard Deskjet 9650 ? Of course the Epson 1290S, 2100 are A3 printers, but I got a lot of bad comments about Epson clogged nozzles and this "detail" worry. Could you give me your opinion about and perhaps some good reviews. Thanks a lot. JCB |

A new Epson A3 printer has just been announced in Japan that looks like it
will replace the 2100/2200. It uses the Ultrachorme G inks like the latest Epson A4 printers (the R800 in the US)--improved gamut, longevity, much faster print speeds (3.5x), lower consumable costs (about 30% ), no bronzing and the ability to make glossy prints distinguish it from the 2100,2200. It comes out in Nov here, no idea when it will be introduced into other markets. Toby "jean-claude Bertier" wrote in message ... Jon, Thank you for your fast answer about Epson inkjet printers. It's true that Epson has a good reputation for doing the best prints and I agree with your opinion about clogging: whatever equipment you use, it needs some care to give nice results. Maybe Epson printers are a bit more sticky about. Well, could you tell me what is your favorite Epson A3 printer? JCB "Jon O'Brien" a écrit dans le message de news: ... In article , Some of us have been running Epson printers for a long time without any clogging problems at all. Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the environment they're kept in and others seem to agree. Keep them in a reasonably humid atmosphere, out of direct sunlight, away from a radiator, etc. and you shouldn't have any problems. Jon. |

To: "BenOne©"
Thanks for your answer. I am not sure that a 8 inks printer give better results than a 6 inks. I would like to compare the same 6Mo 13x18" image done with the i9950 and the i9100 (6 inks). Do you believe one can see any difference? Did you make any try about? But anyway the Canons are probably the fastest and easiest printers. An interesting opinion : http://www.neilslade.com/papers/inkjetstuff.html Regards.

An interesting opinion : http://www.neilslade.com/papers/inkjetstuff.html Hi Jean-Claude, I did not compare the prints of i9950 and 9100. I am certainly very happy with my i9950 though - the colours are great and the printer is extremely fast and quiet. The two extra inks in the i9950 don't seem to get used much. My photo magenta cartridge just ran out for the first time, but the red cartridge still has over 95% ink remaining. -- Ben Thomas Opinions, conclusions, and other information in this message that do not relate to the official business of my firm shall be understood as neither given nor endorsed by it. |
