Large Format Printer Advice Required

[Andy]

I am currently looking to buy a large format printer with a budget of around £700-£1000. I have very little experience when it comes to printing anything bigger than a 12x8 on my dye sub. It will be used to make canvases up to A2. I would like to offer these on my website in addition to the products I currently sell. Any advice on which direction to go would be very much appreciated.

HP, Canon and Epson all make decent LF printers and used version are available too, so for that budget you are looking probably HP Z9 or Canon IPF6400/8400 with room to spare which you will need for a new head or two. My advice is to only get one that works or at worst needs a head and some ink. Good ones start from 24" size and up. You will need to use it at least once every 3d / A4 sheet to prevent bad things and wasting ink for cleaning (which will be expensive) so keep that in mind.
