- Any advice on getting a new printer?
- Posted by Versy Tyle on August 3rd, 2003
I've had a Lexmark Z53, the circuitry of which went wrong for some reason. I
think it is to do with the fact that I was sold a computer with a faulty
motherboard (my scanner went wrong, for reasons of circuitry, also). I liked
the fact that you could print onto a variety of diferent media, the most
important to me being primarily tracing paper and secondarily watercolour
paper. I can't do that with my Epson Stylus 830, which I want to abandon
because it doesn't even give me a professional quality typeface - it gives
me nothing but trouble at every turn. But when I bought it I was told it
would get me a better resolution than the Lexmark, which I liked (but it's
not as important to me as the Lexmark's attributes were).
I wonder what advice people could give me as to which model I ought to
get. Another Lexmark, perhaps, or are there drawbacks with Lexmark (eg.
disproportionately high ink prices, etc.) that I can avoid with another
make? If I went up a class, would I enjoy all the same virtues of the Z53?
Thanks,
Versy

There's only one reply you'll get here - Canon, either the i850 or the i950.
I'll get one as soon as someone tells me whether it's capable of printing on
banner/photo roll paper.

You will other answers. Epson. Also Epson is the only one that can print
on roll paper.

I'm sure there are others - it's just that I happened to have a roll of
Epson in the cupboard. Thanks for that, I'll start checking prices!

You sure? Bill's just told me otherwise. How do I print panoramics then?
