Besides the Epsons an Canons you might wantto look at the newer HP models as well, eg. the HP 8750 (A3) or 8450 (A4). I am using the HP 8750 for about a year now, mostly for black and white, and Iam still impressed with the results. I tried Epsons before but I always had technical problems -none of these with the HP.

I am thinking of buying a new printer, instead of my old Epson 1290. Of course longevity (pigment based inks?) is one concern. I also have some problems with clogging of the noozles, so this is a concern too. Of course usable color space, price, individual color cartridges, etc. are also concerns. At the time I bought the 1290, there was only one way to go ... Epson. Later I heard that there are also some Canons.. But this may be old news now. So I would like to hear from people what printers they use, and how they rate them. BTW, snapshot printing and pictbridge is not important for me, but using different papers (eg. watercolor) is important. Thanks for the help. Veli Izzet Cigirgan
