I am in the market to purchase a wide format printer and was wondering if any of you have one, what brand do you have and would you recommend it. What kind of cartridge system does it have. How much are the cartridges. I have seen an Epson today and I'm impressed but it is a bit pricey. There is an HP wide format but I don't have much information on them and have not seen one in person. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't have a wide format printer, but Canon have three. I've got a Canon and although i'm biased

I think they're the best printers around. I steered clear of Epson after reading numerous sites, and people having problems with them.

Just google in Canon - and their website will come up. You should be able to get more information from the site. Also google something like Wide format printers + reviews?

Good luck!

I have have the HP 9300 wide format for quite a while. I bought it when I was paper scrapping so I could journal right on the 12x12 paper. My only complaint is that it doesn't handle cardstock well. Sometime it will jam up if it is a heavyweight cardstock. It does just fine with photo papers and lighter weight cardstock.
