How do you copy the image of an actual dvd to another dvd?

I was on Epson e-talk this morning and the person recommended the Photo P-50 which costs £89.99 if I wanted a printer only or if I wanted an all in one he recommended a Photo PX650 which is £129.99. All prices include VAT and delivery but not a USB cable.

These printers are brand new!

Decisions, decisions!

maybe think about how much you'll use the printer...if it's a lot look at the price of consumables, the ink, which is the major part of a printers' cost over its lifetime

I already have an all in one which is working. Which of the new ones would you go for?

The ink costs for the photo PX650 (which I think is available on Amazon at £99) are cheaper than the Canon Pixma but I believe the print quality is not as good, you would be best to have a carefull look at thr reviews and price up the cost of ink for both printers.

The Canon Pixma IP4000 I bought a few years ago uses unchipped ink catridges so I can use compatible inks for that printer which are far cheaper than Canon's branded inks, I think now though the Pixma range uses chipped cartridges so you can't use compatible inks (double check that though).

I'm biased toward Epson, as they've never let me down and my current printer really has far exceeded it's expected life (service reset twice!), but I've also not been let down by canon (long long time ago...b/w only) and HP.
My only real printer rule is "NEVER Lexmark...." as they're not only carp, they're bloody expensive to run!

Plenty of people on here rating the canon - and it's 2/3 the price of the epson..so probably a wise 'moneysaving' move

Going by reviews I am thinking of the Canon PIXMA IP4850 although the cartidges are supposed to be expensive to replace, about £66 for all five according to one review I read. I have read on a few websites about which cartridges it needs but there is more than five different cartridge numbers. Does anyone know which cartridges it uses? This is a stand alone printer.

Does this sound like a good printer? Is there one similar to this but an all in one?

The Canon Pixma iP4500 we have uses chipped cartridges, but I bought a chip resetter for about £15 on ebay. I buy cheap unchipped cartridges (for around £1.50 to £2.50), then reset the chip on the old cartridge and transfer it to the new one (which is a bit fiddly and sometimes requires tiny bits of sellotape to hold the chip in place!).

It's definitely worth comparing the cost of ink - apparently, some inks are seven times as expensive as 1985 Dom Perignon! :eek:

The chip resetter sounds handy esuhl, I'll go for another Canon Pixma when this one dies then (if it dies, doesn't seem to want to though!) :beer:

Can anyone tell me where I can compare Cannon printers which are all in ones? Canons website is not as good as Epsons website.

I really need to get this sorted!
