Re: Advise for wide format inkjet printers

I have an HP Photosmart D7160. Excellent for up to 8x10. Yet that might be a problem in size for you based on what you mentioned.
I have used mine for poetry set to fine art to sports card images, logos etc. Print quality is good with proper paper.
Ink usage is almost always a situation. There are printing machines that are even larger format size and higher quality. Guess it depends on the volume of prints and clients.
If a client needs that many copies, I have used Staples. The reproduce hi quality images.
I am unsure if that helps at all.

Subject: [AIGAExperienceDesign] Advise for wide format inkjet printers








I am trying to decide on the best wide format inkjet printer (13 x 19 or 11 x 
17) for the money up to $300.

I am free-lance graphic designer wanting to print for all printing collateral. 
(Brochures, cards, flyers, etc) For finals and comp usage.

Not sure whether to get high photo quality or office jet, or workforces
Wanting best quality and hoping for not excessive ink usage.

Looking for excellent type and photo quality, not sure if I should get the ones 
that print for high gloss photography.

Thinking of Epson Stylus 1400, 1280, 1160, 2200 or HP or Cannons. Most seem to 
be geared for photography so unsure what to get.

Found great prices on Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (under $200)
Have loved the Epson stylus, recently been using HP not too happy with type 
quality.

Any comments would be appreciated.Looking for a good buy, no real income at this 
time.

Thanks.
