Your favorite printer poll - Page 4

I have a HP 1350 all in one, never had a problem, bit expensive on the ink, but my Dr. Zarkov 'Flying Pancake' is starting to fade on one side, so last month I bought me a nice big A3 Canon Pixma iX 4000, with 4 separate inkcardriges, they claim the ink will last at least 80 year, so we'll see...
Cheers Billy

I don't know about my favorite, but I'm using an HP Colorjet 5100 All-In-One and haven't had any issues with it so far. My wife actually specced it out to do photo's / scrapbooking stuff and I've taken over using her ink now and again for paper models and no complaints so far.

i currently using a cannon mp160 scanner/printer which is by far the best in quality and will print on anything i care to shove in it and the ink is very strong and dosent degrade the scanner only goes up to 600 dpi which is fine for models any more and it starts to pick up paper textures before this i had a lexmark which was OKish( cartriges hugely overpriced)and a load of epsons which consitantly s**t themseves at the worst possible times(eg essay due in next morning) and only lasted about 10 months each

I also have a HP 5100......its slowly dieing a terrible death! Watch for the rollers to start squeaking on the left as you look at it. Theres no way i can see to lubricate them either? Mine has almost progressed to a gringing noise-wont be long now. I also notice that at walmart these printers are half the price i paid! A problem? What i want is a printer that will print on the usual 8.5X11 but also larger size paper like 11X17? Any ideas short of a architechs plotter?
