Quote:Prices I am finding here are quite steep.Hi,
Found Epson L800 for 400$ Epson L220 for 225, is the L225 a good one for such a job ?
I have good experience with Canon printers. I am currently using an "anicient" D6700, which has a chroma-life six color inkset. It went through extended periods of not being used. Nozzle check is still ok.
I had bad experience with Epson in the past. Gummed up quickly (using genuine Epson ink). Canon and Epson use totally different technology. No moving parts in a Canon. I am considering replacing my Canon with a multifunction. The chroma-life plus ink sets are said to be even more fade resistant. I would buy one with six colours (two black, magneta, cyan, yellow and grey). Using genuine Canon inks and papers and the generic profiles I get good colour on a calibrated monitor. I never got anywhere with non-Canon papers. I didn't try any aftermarket ink (ink in a Canon also acts as a coolant).
Hope this helps.
enjoy
