I own a Brother MRC-J6510DW A3 printer but it has broken down on me; printing streaky on plain paper, and I have been advised to replace it.

I was hoping for any recommendations of A3 printers, with the key focus being printing high quality photos on to plain paper (of a high quality 80lbs+). Price around £300.

Many thanks
 
I've never managed any good prints on non photo papers, even high quality heavyweight stock. I do get very nice prints from my Canon iX4000 on photo papers, up to A3+ size. Pretty sure it's an old model now, not sure what's superseded it.
 
I am studying architecture, and we often create books and diarys which photo paper is not appropriate, yet i still need images to be printed at a high quality. ???
 
Generally I am not allowed to use any type of 'glass' paper, as it just doesn't look nice for a document with over 200 pages.

Do you think there is a printer that can print high quality on plain (but good) paper, even if I pay more than £400??
 
Not sure what you mean by "glass" paper. If you mean "gloss, the Jessops paper I linked to is matt finish so shouldn't look out of place.
 
yes gloss/shiny photo paper. Ok I will give that jessops paper a go, but I still need a new printer.
So the consensus is an epson or canon?
