    I need a new Printer. Help!

    My Epson Stylus A3 Printer has just gone and died on me. Now i need a new one and i want to stick with Epson as i love the quality. Cant find an A3 for the life of me, so can you please advise me what you are all using and the benefits from it?
    Also dont want to spend more than £350 at the end of the day. My best buddy has the Epson R800 which is super but id rather ask you guys first.

    Thank you
    Chrissie

    I have a lexmark all in one and a HP all in one. Both of them are brilliant quality print outs, I always used to think (based on experience) that lexmarks were junk but my new one really rocks will see if I can find the number of it.

    The card reader for the camera is only one of the things I love lol. I get better prints from that then from taking them to the store.

    The RX620 is an all in one, but it also scans negatives and slides -- which I need if I can ever convince my Dad to pass over the pics of my brother and myself when we were little......

    Also like the fact it takes 6 ink cartridges, so no waste at all when one runs out

    I just bought a HP print copy scan as recommended by some peeps on here and it is an excellent machine (think it was the 2355) - its discontinued so I got it for £75 at PC World! Bargain!!!

    Have to say thought that the paper makes a MASSIVE difference to photos - it came with a sample of HP premium paper and boy can you tell the difference from standard paper.

    Can;t help with a A3 though but HP are a good standard generally. Good luck! I was lost when mine gave up the ghost!!!

    I have a second hand A3 epson 2100 bought off fleabay, and it is the business, with 7 ink cartridges it prints fab quality photos right up to 13" x 17"... eats tons of ink though, but I get compatible cartridges, so it keeps the price down (fine for in an album - but will fade if put on display)... if you buy second hand you should be able to pick one up quite reasonably...

    You are all so lovely. Thank you for this input. Im off to search ebay as hubby has said we need a second good quality printer for his office and one for the kids at a good price.
    I think i will have to stick to good old Epson as i cant fault them for quality.
