A3 printer

FNG · 6 Jun 2017 at 10:41

Hi,

I am after an A3 printer to print out some photos for around the house. Any recommendations from people as to a good one? Are there any with decent after market ink to make printing a little more affordable?

Thanks

Really happy with my Epson XP950, not tried aftermarket inks but after the last ink mortgage purchase, I'm going to try them next.

If its only for a few then would it not work out cheaper to order them online perhaps? Ive had this site bookmarked that I found on google in case I wanted anything printed but Im sure there are others available.

Order from an online place. Higher quality, cheaper in the long run.

Before you start printing your shots and being disappointed with the results, worth reading this article and watching his vids first...

I agree.

If you are printing a lot or have specific requirements it might be worth buying a printer.

Personally I'm happy with online prints.
Even photobox did a decent job printing A3.

Having a calibrated screen made a big difference.

I'm a pro large format printer so printing at home would be a bit of a busmans holiday.
For the number of prints I make owning my own printer isn't worth the time or cost.

Were I to buy one I would do more research than ask on here

I'm happy with my Cannon IP8750
