I am currently thinking about purchasing an A3 inkjet printer, any recommendations for printer & paper options would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Geoff

Hi Geoff

I have just purchased the R1800 and think its great. Have a look at the recent posts in the New Equipt section. A few recent ones on the Epson that you may find useful.

Geoff,
If there's more room to move. The Epson 2400 is also the ones you may look at, beat the R1800 miles away.
Tried out two units supplied to my customers today and compare the photo (A3+) you'll be suprised.

If you feel like you want to pay less than the R1800, there's always Canon's offerings, as well as for much less, HP's offerings.

Thankyou all for your input, have checked out the Equipment forum. Seems everybody is impressed by the R1800, will have to get to a local supplier to see the quality of print.
