Photo Printer A3 Plus

Hi folks

Anyone have a recommendation for a Photo Printer A3+, must be good quality, I was looking up the Ipson Stylus Photo R3000, any similar printers or is this the best value for money?

Cheers

We use this, http://www.trustedreviews.com/Epson-Stylus-Photo-1400_Printer_review it's cheap and cheerful and has served us very well for the last five years. If you do a lot of printing get a CISS system as well. It will save you a fortune in ink costs

Cheers thanks for the information. What is the CISS system?

uncle_sam_ie

CISS is a continuous ink supply, http://www.inksystem.ie/printer-ciss/epson/r3000.html

Looks good, have you used the CISS system?

uncle_sam_ie

Yes it's brilliant, our ink costs are about 40 euros every 9 months. And, we're doing a lot of printing. It use to cost us about 30 euros a month on ink. The ink is good quality too.

Edit: This is what we have, http://www.inksystem.ie/printer-ciss/epson/Printer-Epson-Stylus-Photo-1400-with-CISSe.html

Only , I bought the printer at Amazon because it was before I heard of CISS.

That crowd dont seem to be in business anymore. I emailed them only to get an email back from someone a few days later that doesnt work for them anymore. Maybe their english website might still work.

Anyone else get a continuous ink system?

Yeah, they are no longer in Dublin, you have go through the UK now. We did order some ink a few weeks ago from the english site. Had no hassles with them.

is that the www.inksystem.com option? Seems they are in Poland. Are they reliable?

When my wife put in the order for the ink she used the .ie site but, it ended up going through to the UK. A girl from the UK emailed us saying the guy in Ireland wasn't doing it anymore but, we could still order the ink. Like I say we had no hassle ordering the ink from the UK but, saying that the only reason were used them in past was because they were based in Dublin. Is the Polish site reliable? I don't know. The ink we ordered might have come from Poland. The Irish site has the UK contact number. You could call them find out what the story is or just shop around for another crowd that's selling the system.
Let me know how you get on.
