[HUG ] Re: bw printer

Hi,
My recommendation would be the Canon IPF 5100 (17"). Excellent B/W and Color prints, a lot less bronzing than an Epson and the operating costs are less than half that of an Epson. Unlike the Epsons you do not have to change inks for B/W and Color, it has 12 inks installed at one time. Don't let anyone talk you into the older 5000 as it has different Black inks and makes a big difference in B/W prints. I owned an Epson 4800 for 18 months until the head burnt out and epson refused to replace it under warranty so I replaced it with the Canon IPF 6100(24") and I have found that it is well worth the extra money. It uses about 1/2 the ink per print and about 1/20th the ink for maintenance. My epson needed a head cleaning cycle after not printing for 2 weeks and that used about 15% of each ink cartridge. The Canon on the other hand didn't need a head cleaning after 3 weeks and 1 time it stopped mid print to clean the head and continued printing and looking at the print you could not tell it had stopped plus, it used almost no ink. I an not a Canon Camera fan (I own Nikon & HB Digital cameras) but this printer is amazing. Have a closer look at your dealer. 

Regards,
Franc

Hi.
I'm looking for a desktop sized printer that excels in BW prints, 16x20 and 
larger.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
