This week I have treated myself...............

busterboy · 11-02-2006, 17:26

to a Canon i9950 A3 photo printer, and it came today...

Big is beautiful...

I saw some A3 samples last week and to say the very least they were JAW DROPPING...

I just had to buy one...

No paper supplied but I have some Canon PP-101 High Gloss Paper on its way..

I have a HP1220C from work that prints A3. Not tried a photo yet. Still wondering what the hell to do with it - like all A3 printers it is huge!

Think it will have to stay in the garage and just plug it into the laptop if I want to use it.

IanC_UK · 11-02-2006, 19:25

i have a 1220c too ! lol

Prints photos out really well

**stepheno** · 11-02-2006, 19:46

Eight inks

How much will it cost to fill up? Taking orders for prints? Still it's a lovely machine.

I have a 19950 is a great printer. Can be quite expensive to run. 7dayshop are about the cheapest for ink. or you could buy an ink flow system. There expensive to buy but you'll recoup the money back in about what it would cost for about 4 complete cartridge changes.

Hmmmmmmmmm your always having treats.....it's not fair i tell you

Hope it's as good as you want it to be, the box states an A3 in 65seconds......thats impressive

My Epson 950 has just about done the first ¼ of an A4 in that time.

/adds buster to to list of large format foto printers

£39.49p plus £3.99 postage will buy you 32 ink carts. Thats 4 full sets of 8 cartridges which is quite economical in my book for a quality printer, I did some research on ink before I bought it.

I have now received 4 full sets from this supplier below..

Link to eBay for cheap ink...

Nice, I fancy an a3 printer and that seems a good price!

Mr THX · 15-02-2006, 22:46

Just about to order mine from here

http://www.digital-cameras.com/print...tml?sort=price

Two guys from my local Camera Club have just got these and are really impressed by its quality.

busterboy · 15-02-2006, 22:53

Yes how bizarre, I was kicking myself tonight when I read their prices.

I paid £395 for mine less than a week ago which was the cheapest in the UK.

The story of my life..

None in stock at The Digital Camera Company but ordered on request so you should be ok.

PS: Have plenty of room to put it, It is a big unit..

Sean_Mcr · 16-02-2006, 01:12

That's actually the printer i'm after!

Do us a little review when you have time pal, if that's ok.

Cheers

BB - checked the site where you bought your carts and the prices seem very low. I'd appreciate your comments on print quality using their inks. TIA.
