I have the six colour Epson Artisan 1430 very reasonably priced, the ink is a dye liquid but a very good one in Claria photographic, simple to use prints A4 to A3+ & it does an awesome job of colour prints, if you get ultra premium photo print paper you will find it will dry instantly I use - Kodak Ultra premium high gloss instant dry, just my 2 bobs worth.
