Hi Folks
After having spent an afternoon reading loads of reviews for one of these machines, my mind's a mudddle - lol. So I thought I'd post what I'm looking for and see what can be recommended.
I'm looking for an all in one that sits nice and flat, prints fast, (don't have patience waiting for it to start - lol), it has to be fast drying, print lovely and sharp, particularly in black (I do a lot of wedding stationery) and has reasonable cartridge costs.
Thanks for any advice.

You are only likely to get reasonable cartridge costs by using compatibles and Epson usually have the better availability of those, with the exception of the SX125 and SX425W.
What price range are you looking at?0 -
Thanks for replying Santer
I'm looking at up to £120.
I should say at the moment I'm using an HP C3180 and I like that it prints quite fast, however I get a lot of error message a out the ink cartridge and it's quite smudgy instead of being nice and sharp when it prints out.

consider a laser, they don't smudge, and carts last longer!!

My photo paper comes from here
http://www.photopaperdirect.com/
Inks I have not used but am thinking of doing so because they have 19ml of ink against the usual 13ml for compatibles and they have free delivery with 99.7% positive feedback at the moment, though check the prices

My PX800FW has the photo paper loaded face down in the paper tray, so check by scribbling on a piece of plain paper and see which side the PX720WD prints on.0
