Hi everyone - new member to the forum!

I'm an amateur photographer, and been looking into printing my own 
canvases for home and to possibly sell at craft fairs, etc.

However, I have a limited budget, so I'm looking for a fairly 
reasonable setup.

Some of the things I've been considering...

1.  The cost of the printer itself (possibly HP130)
2.  The cost of upgrading to a CISS (seen a few on EBay - any good?)
3.  The cost of adding a stand and paper catcher (for HP130)
4.  The cost of canvas stretchers
5.  The cost of canvas rolls

As you can see, I've honed in on the HP130 - it seems a lot of 
printer for the money and I know I can get a second hand one on 
EBay.  That being said, I would certainly consider alternatives.

I was going to bid on an HP 5000 (Went for £1020 in an Ebay 
auction!!) but I shyed away when I found out how much the cartridges 
cost!!  Also the size was a consideration.

One thing that concerned me was the maximum weight of the canvas the 
HP130 could take - 300gsm - most canvases start at 350 and seen up to 
450gsm.  Does that mean the 130 can only take thin canvas?

I'd welcome any thoughts anyone has!

Thanks in advance,

Glenn.
