:bang::bang::bang:Hello, have spent hours browsing t'internet and forums and cannot for the life of me find a definitive answer to the following question...
What is the best A4 printer I can buy? Not bothered about any bells and whistles, just want quality photos. (Oh, and in the region of 100-200 pounds although would consider more if necessary.)
Have had Epsons; problems with print heads clogging and photos too dark despite attempts at calibrating, screen brightness adjustments etc. Another problem with the Epsons being that they are deviously good at detecting when I am not using a "genuine" ink cartridge. I accept some say one should always go genuine, but can't say I've noticed much of a difference in quality betwixt the two (and savour the prospect of sticking it to the man in the face of absurd ink prices).
Also want something that will just print well! Spending hours trying to adjust +1 +2 etc etc did my nut.
When it comes to home printing, I'm starting to lose the will to live, and indeed would have printed my will in anticipation of an untimely death if only my printer would allow it...
At the moment I conclude the Canon ip4700 to be the best option. I gather it should be good for black and white as it has two black cartridges and colour casts irritate me.
Please, someone give me a definitive answer, tell me what I should buy so I can do so and get back to enjoying my photos...
Apologies for my irritated tirade, and in anticipation of advice to get my photos printed professionally, part of the buzz for me is getting the instant gratifacation of a print of a recently taken/edited pic.
Cheers.
