  • New printer

    Looking for a new printer, the second one in 5 weeks. Had a canon for about 6 years worked great but eventually it died. Thought I would try an Epson which I had for about 2 weeks but it was leaving small marks and lines on the prints.
    I googled this and its called pizza cutter lines ... apparently a common problem.
    I took it back to the shop where they sent it away, it was returned today minus the mains cable and damaged on the front, and it was a different serial number.
    So if this is epsons repair procedure to replace with a used one in damaged condition they can put there printers where the "sun don't shine".
    Got my money back.
    So the question is which one next. It must have a wifi connection and preferably a front loader, that was one of the plus point for the epson. Its only used for home printing so A4 size is ok unless someone is making A3 printers at a great price.
    Any suggestions ?

    we got rid of Epson because of the multi inks
    now have 2 x 3600 canon ; a 4000i A3 and and older 520 (for the children)

    single inks may be replaced - so in summer we use a lot of blue and green but dont have to throw out a half full magenta

        A lot of Epson printers have single ink tanks.
        We have a number of Epson 1400's which do sterling service.

            Strange about your Epson episode, but nothing surprises me!

                    Hi Jo, the camera is a joy to use and the EVF, the cream on top of the cake.

                        For ink I have a large a3+ Canon 9500. The ink prices have increased beyond reason and as it uses 9 I tried pixmania for some, they arrived with geman postmarks from http://www.ijtdirect.co.uk/?il=1&gcl...FSPHtAodEVAAIg

                          Unbelievable, got myself the 5350 yesterday took it home and what do you know .... doesn't work.
                          Plugged it in and the error came up screen not closed, open and closed screen several times but still the same problem. NOT HAPPY. Two printers in 5 weeks.
                          Took it back today but they didn't have another one in stock. Try another shop tomorrow ....maybe I got printer karma !
