Which A3 printer???

[seanm]

After some advice on choice of an A3 printer. I'm currently using an A4 Canon i990 and am horribly disappointed with the fading prints; some noticibly fading within 2-3 months if not protected. I plan on purchasing a new A3 printer as I would like to start selling some prints (mostly landscape) and therefore need prints that are not subject to fading (they will be framed and glassed).

Recommendations appreciated!

The Epson R2400. The definite choice of imaging professionals.

Yes, without doubt. The Ultachrome K3 ink syetem is a stark improvement.

Problem with Epson is... they make their ink/printer obsolete in abt 12 mths or so. I know... I used to own a 2100.

I am currently testing/reviewing the Canon Pro9000. I must say, very impressed with it. Prints surpass lab quality at 9600dpi.

You may wait for a while for Pro9500.
