Hi folks, I'm new to this group and somewhat new to paper modeling, only a couple of years now. I followed this thread with some interest and wanted to throw in my two cents worth. I have been using a Epson R1800 printer which uses 9 color cartridges and gives me great color on everything I do. I was a graphic designer (in a previous life - retired) and true color was always important. With the paper models I can print borderless up to 13 inches wide, and I have used cardstock as heavy as 200 gm wt. It will print both sides but you have to manually flip the paper. You can also print glossy with a protective coating for lasting color. I have used many different printers over the years and the Epson always seems to last longer and has also survived a lightning strike on the house - one that wiped out everything else. Hope that is of some help in this discussion. Ron
