Tell me :)

A Z3100 and a Z6100ps. A range of papers, some HP Satin and Gloss along with some other types of satin, gloss, heavy coated papers. I also find that when prints have heavy matte black ink coverage on say a regular matte white coated paper it can be very prone to scuffing and scratching too.

Got some from Boots today for the bargain price of £2.59 :) Will give them a test on some satin prints this weekend and see how they handle, very interested to see how they handle the gloss though as they're a biatch for finger prints.

I'm also curious about software nuances, driver issues, improving workflow. I'd like to learn a lot more about driver issues, file handling, PDFs vs .jpgs, vector graphics vs rasterised images etc., reducing the time it takes to send large files to print is paramount for busy time. TBH I...

Awesome, thanks for the fast responses guys! :D

Thanks for the replies, seems like I've got a cheap and cheerful option and a hardcore option to keep it forever. Thanks for the responses guys :)

Thanks, do you know of any high street stores that might stock them?

I've never handled negatives :p

Will have a peek, thanks POAH. Would just be interesting to be able to browse through threads relating to large format printing, production, handling, etc.

As above really, thanks. :)

So I've been offered a used Z6100, it will primarily be used for printing A1 and A0 graphics and architectural renders. Does anyone have any experience with one? If so, any thoughts? Pros, cons, anything I should look for when checking it out? Thanks.

Cheers for the info guys, and yeah it's a bit of a weird size, the long side of an A4 sheet or the short side of an A3 sheet. I thought about the manual trimming, but it isn't really an option as it will be too laborious for multiple books. Doing some more investigating now to see if 300 x 300...

I've got a few people who need some photobooks printing. Needs to be double sided, 297 x 297 mm, approx 100 sheets. Any advice on where I could get paper suitable for a large format printer or A3 printer to do myself or alternatively a website I could submit the files to get get them printed...
