Amazing Prints, Amazing Printer

on June 8, 2009

Posted by: y2kzorak

from St. Joseph, MI

I got this printer, admittedly, when it was on clearance in the store, but I'd been considering a wide-format printer for a while as my graphic design side-business was picking up and, since I do a little photography on the side, it made sense. I was on the fence about Canon vs. Epson, so the price made my decision for me. That being said, this printer is worth the full price. You'll be hard-pressed to find a printer that makes higher-quality prints in large-format for less money.

Colors are crisp and vibrant, even on the standard quality setting, thanks to the fact that it can print the dots of ink so close together. You'd be suprised what having a dedicated red and green tank can do for your prints. Grayscale (black & white) photos look amazing too. The unit is surprisingly quiet, considering how large it is.

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this printer. My biggest complaint would be that you really need about a three-foot wide desk to work with it, and just as much room if you're printing on paper that can not be fed through the autofeeder such as the 13x19 Museum Etching paper (which is incredibly awesome paper, by the way).

In short, if you're looking for a wide-format printer and have the money to spend on the good paper (13x19 Canon Fine Art papers usually run at least $50 for 20 sheets) and have the space for it, you will not be disappointed. If you don't plan on making income from art reprints or photography, this printer might not be for you due to the initial cost of ownership and sheer bulk of it.

What's great about it: Print quality is astounding, even on plain paper; easy setup; relatively quiet, considering its size

What's not so great: Space hog, especially for paper that can't be fed through the auto-feeder; ink can get pricey

I would recommend this to a friend!
