I am looking at buying a large format printer like epson ,canon , at a reasonable price would consider used , any thoughts on this ? I don't know if it makes any difference but I shoot with Nikon D7000, I would like something that would handle Printing DVD & Canvas to. Thanks !

Your idea of large format is how big?
You got a budget?

I sprung for an HP B9180 four years ago. I really like the print quality - prints up to 13x19, and colors are excellent. It eats ink even when not in use, though, during the self-calibration routine. When I run out of the current ink batch I am thinking about replacing it with a new Canon printer.

!3 x 19 is a start as I said would buy used looking for a deal Just purchased two good glass items and budget tight , no pro labs close to me so need to do myself , I create slide shows so need the print dvd/cd feature as I want to have one printer , have two now and running out of space, LOL

Consider the Canon Pixma Pro 10. Wireless printing. Ten pigment inks (including three blacks). Prints 13x19 borderless. Will print on CDs and DVDs.

Retails at $699. Haven't checked all sources, but I do know B&H has an offer where you get a $200 instant rebate and then a $200 mail-in rebate from Canon, making the final cost to you $299. Good price for a very good printer.

Canon Pro 100 is so cheap (with rebates) from B&H that you can throw it away if you don't like it. OTOH, I love mine!

I had forgotten that the Pro 100 also has the CD/DVD print tray. At $99 after rebate, it is a no brainer.

My son, gf & I each have a Canon 9000Pro,... mine,... which gets the most use is a few years old & still running strong,... never a problem. Prints are beautiful & fun to make,...:) With 8 ink tanks it can be pricey but check Adorama for best pricing for both indiviual & full pack replacement tanks. Tank use varies by color w red & green use being the slowest as it's more for banner fill. Photo cyan & photo magenta seem to get used the most so keep spares on hand. You can get quite a few 13x19 prints with a full set but again,... be ready to shell out some dinero when replacement time comes. Also,... I always use Canon OEM tanks,....never refills. As for paper,... I use either canon brand or Ilford soft pearl,... the Ilford is awesome & dries pretty much to the touch but let your prints air for a few hours if possible,... don't just start stacking them. Ilford is on sale occassionally through Adorama....:) I have had very good luck with this system & you can create your own per your type of use. The best part,... I have sold numerous photos from this printer w these papers,...:) How can ou beat that?! lol If the newer version printers are anything like mine,... set your budget & go for it! Good luck & have fun,..:)

Make sure that the computer you are going to use is compatible with your older printer.
I have an Epson 7600 that will only run on Windows XP.Have fun.

CJsFotos and others,

I have a Canon Pixma Pro 10 that arrived in the mail this week as part of a package deal for my Canon 70D. It is still in the Canon box, and can be had for for $198, but will not include shipping. I am currently in LA visiting my newly-born grandson, and will return home Saturday. You can post a reply if interested. I will do the sale thru PayPal. I can post a photo of the box this weekend if anyone is interested.

thanks,

CJ,

I'll email the photo of the printer box to your email address Saturday after I return from LA. In the mean time, get an idea of how much it would cost to mail it to you. It is rather heavy, so I don't want you to get sticker shock!

You may consider the Epson R3000. It prints up to 13x19 and uses large size ink cartridges that last a long time. 9 color carts. Prints beautiful on all sizes and thickness of paper and roll stock for awesome panoramas. It will print on canvas and has a CD/DVD caddy for printing discs. It is also wireless.
Plus all Epson does is imaging and they do it well. Check out B&H's price and I believe there is a rebate on it too.
