Suggestions For Printer Purchase Janie Hermann 2007-02-16T19:53:06Z 2007-02-16T19:53:06Z

Thanks everyone for taking the time to make great suggestions. All of them are under consideration.<br /><br />We are having a meeting on Tuesday to go over the pros and cons and make a purchase decision. I will update next week!

With that budget and needing networking, I would take a good look at the HP Photosmart Pro B9180. It has pigment&#045;based inks, photo gray cartridge, and can handle paper sizes up to 13 x 19.<br /><br />Of course the higher end Epsons are very nice as well, but I don&#039;t recall any of them having networking capability &#045; though you could probably just buy an external print server to use with them.<br /><br />Dale

I&#039;m an amateur photographer on the side and honestly, the best printers I have seen for photo printing is the Epson line. Which one you would want depends upon things like the maximum size you want to print and whether you want to use dye based or pigment based inks.<br /><br />In any case, you might look at either the Epson R2400 or R1800 printers. They have an excellent reputation for high quality photos and there are a number of paper/printer profiles available for them.<br /><br />Wendell

I am bumping an old thread, mostly because I am just starting the search for a new printer and thought maybe someone would jump in and tell me all about the wonderful printer they bought to give me a starting point.<br /><br />I am looking for a new printer for our Tech Center. It has to have networking capabilities, but more importantly, it must be a top&#045;notch photo printer. We offer classes on using PhotoShop and we print a lot of photos for people in general &#040;for a fee&#041;.<br /><br />We would like to stay under $1000 if we can.<br /><br />Input welcome. I will update as I do my research.

Thanks &#045; &#045; &#045; was researching that one and it does look like the choice we will be making!<br /><br />Chad

We bought an HP 2300, which networks, and was around $800, I think.

Does anyone use anything from Brother or Lexmark perhaps?

We are doing some upgrades here and are looking for a new printer. I was hoping some of you all could offer some suggestions.<br /><br /><b>1 &#045; Printer will serve 3 Ref Desk PCs and 4 database PCs.<br />2 &#045; Must be network&#045;able &#040;ethernet&#041;<br />3 &#045; Would like to stay under $1000</b><br /><br />Currently we have are using HP 4050TNs but they will be moving soon.
