Hi, not sure if I’ve asked before but I’m looking for a printer that uses pigment ink. I print images/patterns to stick on objects and then topcoat (decoupage) so the ink needs to be waterproof.
I’m not too bothered what brand and I’m not looking for photo professional quality. Ideally some kind of ink tank system but I would consider cartridges at this point, or even something I can convert to pigment ink although I’ve read conflicting things about this?
Hopefully someone can advise as I’m so confused trying to search all the brands.
Thanks in advance 😊

Hi @Emt
There are not too many printers that are full pigment and EcoTank

I found two yet have never owned either one.
Here is a comparison sheet of specs followed by paper size capability

I would check those out. Do note they are not touted as photo printers yet for you needs it might fit the bill very well.

PS - for a buying decision, I would recommend that you check the specs from Epson web site directly.

There is a series of Canon Maxify tank printers - the GX series starting at the GX1051 model - all running with pigment inks. That's printers for the (home) office type applications and running with bottled pigment inks.

Please let prints thoroughly dry before you do any topcoating.
