Let's talk inkjet printers...!

[Dan Cripps]

So my Epson R2400 is cactus.

It's old, temperamental and induces a panic attack every time I need to turn it on. I hit the switch and think "what will go wrong today?".

So I need a new one.

I think I'll go bigger this time, so I'm looking at 24" models. The ability to produce an archival quality 24x36 art print in-house is very appealing.

I'm looking at the following options:

• Epson Stylus Pro 7900
• Canon ipf6200
• HP Designjet Z3100ps

Anyone got any advice or experience they'd like to weigh in with?

I think there was a recent thread about this not so long ago but I can't find it; someone else may know of it. (I'm not thinking of my thread about canon printers not being available)

I will be interested in the replies also

A bit OT but someones trying to sell me waht looks like a really nice 2400 for $300 - worth it Zeke ?

Alternative to me is a new 1410 at $599

My honest opinion?

Someone would have to pay me $400 to let another 2400 in the studio. It's been a nightmare most of it's working* life.

*working is a generous term.
