Best printer advice please

Hello can anyone help me please
I am after a epson printer but want one that can handle printing onto card my old Epson C42UX no longer seems to want to take card through the feeder

Is the R265 any good or can anyone recommend a good printer - that uses fairly reasonably priced ink refills.

Thanks

I use the R320 and its fantastic. There should be no problems printing on card and ink refills can be brought for around £15 (it takes 6 inks). I think they're about £90 now, not sure if that's in your budget.

My own printer advice is generic. Epson are excellent. But NEVER by an HP printer.

The one time I strayed from this I had total nightmares. The HP "drivers" were 700MB! Afterwards nothing worked properly & half my PC functionality had died. Uninstalling the HP bloatware didn't help - I ended up having to spend a day rebuilding my PC.

When I took the printer back to PC World (another big mistake) their attempt to "prove it was working" consisted of trying to print a test page. When I enquired how that would prove the wireless nic, fax utility or scanner were working too, they just said "huh". I eventually found an HP Support BB on which HP's own engineers were asking for all the feeback possible because "the software is only in beta". (Who releases beta software into production.....)

Anyway, I had it swopped for an Epson which took 5 mins to setup & worked perfectly first time.

Hi,

I use an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and am really impressed with it and I've recommended Epson to a couple of friends on the back of how impressed with mine I was - they are suitable impressed too.

Last week I even bought the R360 for my cousin from PC World for £75. I've just checked and for some reason they are now selling for £99.99

Stick with epson and I don't think you will go far wrong.

HTH,

Simon
