Buying a Printer

streety

I am in the last year of my degree and I am looking to buy an A3+ Printer. My budget is under £300 but I can stretch a bit further if I have to.

I have scoured many review sites and designer/photographer forums and most point towards the HP Photosmart Pro B9180. Many say it is the best A3 printer.

The lowest price I can find is £399 but I was hoping to get student discount somewhere.

Q. Does anyone know a site/shop I can receive student discount?
Q. Does anyone own this printer or recommend another?

Any help is much appreciated. I want to get it soon to print out D&AD work...

Try speaking to the computer centre of technical officer at your University. They often have agreements directly with manufacturers for discounts and may be able to negotiate a deal if purchased through them.

My Uni do deals on toshiba laptops and HP printers for students. The discounts are often up to 33% on retail prices online.

Thanks for the help. I have purchased one online now. Paid £380 odd for it.
