    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    Just when I was starting to think I had some theoretical grasp of the subject.... :th:D. So true! How I wish Canon Pro-100s had similar kind of promotions in the UK as they do in the US? And that they had a scanner, and other this and that features! Having said that, I have spent a lot of time...

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    That's great! I thought I could only use Epson 33 ink cartridges with XP-900 and 105/106 were to be used with a tank model. So, does that mean that we can generally switch inks between printers from the same manufacturer as long as dye is mapped to dye and pigment is mapped to a pigment ink. I...

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    Thank you all for providing your valuable insights and responses to my questions. I have decided to go the Epson way. However, I still need a bit of your help to finalise between the three models - Epson L805, Epson XP-900, Epson XP-960. After comparing the specs between L805 and XP-900, I can...

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    So, I gave it a good thought and have come up with a wish list : Document printing - 30-40 colour text prints every month with occasional graphics Photo printing - 30-40 photo prints (including around 5-10 A3 prints, 15-20 6x4, and the remaining A4s. The split is purely a guess.) Quality - Good...

    Many thanks @stratman for the welcome. :). I appreciate your insights into the various types of inks. I am looking to print around 40-50 pages per month which will include coloured text and some graphics. Photo-wise, it would be for learning purposes, so I am just going to take very wild guess...

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    Thanks. I am based in the UK, though. I checked the Canon Pro-100s which is available in the UK. But couldn't find anything about Precision Colours in the UK. Could you please share a link of its alternatives?

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    Both of these models are available in the UK, where I am based. However, both are retailing at north of £500. Is that typical of a printer which yields good quality photos? Are there any cheaper alternatives if I go down the refilling route?

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    @Ink stained Fingers, thank you for your advice. I don't have much experience with Canon printers but I prefer their cameras and lenses. If there are better printers to consider in Epson and HP, I would definitely consider those as well. Just wanted to check if Epson printers work well with...

    Seeking advice on a suitable Canon printer for home photo printing

    Hello everyone, I am a new member of the PK community. I have been a photography hobbyist for a while. But never had the discipline to pick up my camera regularly. In this lockdown situation, I have found my sanity behind the lens again. Now, I am planning to print some of my work, purely for...
