I'm using a Canon, Pixma iX6520, yea, I know it's not an Epson, but as
long as you use Canon paper, or something close, you get very good
results, pretty much what you'd expect from a good lab. The printer
itself retails for between $100 and $150, with a list price of about
$350. Prints up to 13x19" prints.
That's the good news. The really bad news is it's been superseded.
However it's repalacement the Canon iX6820 is pretty much the same
printer with the addition of WiFi connectivity, I can't vouch for the
replacement's print quality, but I assume it's probably at least as good.
The Good it's not a lot bigger than an 8x10 printer, image quality very
good to exultant, it actually looks good when not in use, and comes with
full size, not sample ink cartridges.
The bad, like most inkjets, it drinks ink like a drunken sailor, and
really doesn't work with very heavy weight paper, 140gsm about 11 mil
thickness would be the max I'd use, also doesn't do a particularly good
job printing mat papers, glossy and semi gloss would be the way to go.
It also must just must be exorcized regularly to get anything like
decent ink usage.
It's a nice printer. I got mine for the rock bottom price. I haven't
seen it or it's replacement for less than $149.00 for a long time.
P.S. If this post is incoherent my excuse is I've had a few shots of The
Glenlivet, but really it is a really nice printer, especially for the price.
