I use an HP Officejet wide carriage that will print up to 13 X 19. The XL ink cartridges cost me about $20.00 for the red, cyan and yellow. Black ink is the killer and I think that I paid about $60 for the XL cartridge. The color is great and once it sets the ink doesn't tend to run if it gets a little wet. I'm printing on Bristol exact vellum 67 lb. I built the Disney Experience Nautilus and now I want to blow it up and build it in 1/72 scale which is where the wide carriage printer is nice. Got it on sale for about $140.
