What A3 printer do you use?

[tarmac_chaser]

I'm tempted by the Canon PIXMA iX4000 for A3 prints, but some reviews suggest image quality suffers due to it only having 4 ink cartridges and blacks lack depth.

It's a great price. But what do you use?

I've just got the Epson r2880 for christmas, seems to give good prints so far

Canon IX4000, its a fantastic piece of kit for what it is, quality is fantastic IMHO

 

[tarmac_chaser]

I may have to get one. Is paper easily available on the high street?

 

[kevshore]

Epson R2400. Very good.

I got Some Illford A3+ from PC World when i got it then some Canon A3 pro stuff from Jacobs. Jacobs (if you have a local one) stock a fair amount of photo paper (well at least the one i have local does)

if your interested in one and are unsure about the colours PM me a pic and your addy and i will print it off in 6x4 as a sample for you

Brill though isn't it - mine has had many hundreds of prints through it and many thousands of letters, flyers, etc.

Think we'll have to have a family get together to celebrate its life once it finally croaks

I use a Canon 9500pro, superb piece of kit especially on B&W tones.

Epson R2880. Awesome detail it renders and colours seem to be spot on, after calibrating with ColorMunki. Very pleased and exceptional quality results.

Had mine for about 3 weeks and very very pleased

I also use an iX4000 and have no problem with the blacks it gives me. I also use an older s820 Canon A4 printer which has 6 carts (CMYK+PC and PM) - hard pushed to tell the difference between prints from the two. I use genuine Canon carts in both.

Paper is easily available in Exeter - try the Devon Camera Centre or Jessops. I get mine from ouir friends in the Channel Islands - 7 Day.
