    I'd agree on Epson. You can get an R800 new for a few hundred quid.. it's an excellent home printer for up to like 8x10's-ish. (A4) no larger.

    The R1900 and R2100 are a bit larger with the same ink set.

    The Epson R1900 is great and will do prints up to A3+ or a 13" by 44" panoramic. Check elara.ie for them, they are around the €500 mark.

    Or the older R1800 (same as the R1900 really) You should be able to pick one up for €300. Does up to A3+ or 13" panoramics off a roll.

    The only problem with these printers is that the ink is very expensive so you'd want to be printing a fair bit to make them cost effective.

    That reminded me of something common to pretty much all pigment-based ink printers... You WANT to print with them regularly.. otherwise nozzles will get gummed up & you'll end up with streaky pictures for a few prints. (try to use them at least once a month.. once a week is even better!
