I want a wireless printer

maisie_debs

Hiya

I'm after a wireless printer, one thats quite good quality as I'd like to print images for when I make greeting cards and things like that. I don't want to be paying a fortune everytime the inks want replacing as I've been stung like this before.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear from you
Thanks in advance xx

Look for one which uses 6 or more cartridges for better photos

Check for prices

Epson originals have an anti clog component whereas compatibles do not so run a nozzle check every few days if you do not use the printer regularly

The Pro Jet ones I use are unavailable from where I usually get them, they are around 4:50 a set

Thank you santer for your reply!

My husband and my self were getting so bogged down with review after review of different printers we didn't know where to look next.

We have had a good look at the one you suggested and have decided to go for it! So thank you very much for your time and advice and for saving my sanity (or what little of it is left! lol)

Many thanks again

I have the PX800FW which is similar and the photos are good.

I get my photo paper here, though check elsewhere for prices.

Thanks santer, I'll give those a look

Once I've got the printer and got it all sorted I'll let you know how I'm getting on (that could take a while though lol)

Thanks again xx

Do the wireless printers with scanners on also scan wireless ? :beer:

The Epson Stylus Photo PX700W is sleek, streamlined and designed to look great in any living space. And when connected to your wireless network you can print, scan and copy wherever you want.

Hiya, me again!

Well I've just set up my shiny new printer and done a couple of test prints and wow!!!!!! The quality is fab and the speed is super fast!

I haven't done any scanning yet (Grrrr, time to get the tea on) but if it's half as good as the printing I will be well impressed!

Setting up the wifi was much easier than I was expecting too!

Santer, thank you very very much for you help and recommendation, I am more than happy with what I have seen so far.

Thanks again

Thank You for taking the time to let us know how it went, here is a link to the Pro Jet cartridges I use in a PX650 and two PX800FW, they will also work in the printer you have, the prints are very good, and no one can spot a difference between photos done with those or original cartridges, every few sets you use saves enough to pay for the printer.

The link above does not mention the 720WD but the Epson link confirms they are correct, and £50 a set cheaper
