    Printer recommendation please

    They are all capable of producing lab quality photographs, as ink droplets can be placed with a minimum pitch of 1/4800 inch. If you have further queries, cantact Canon... the guys there should have all the specs to hand. Edit: By Moderator..

    Printer recommendation please

    Looking at your paper specs, thickness is 0.279mm Seems similar to a cardstock I put through a TS printer, though without going to a larger 'Pro' photo printer, I think you may have to go with far fewer sheets in the rear feed.

    HP Firmware Update and Third Party Ink Cartridges

    Recent branding (in the UK) HP is mentioning "dynamic security" on their printer boxes. What this basically is saying, assuming you don't sign up for their 'instant ink' subscription plan, is that the printer will report back to them, and they could push a firmware update which blocks third...

    Printer recommendation please

    DO you have further specs on the media? FIW Canon tests just with their own media, so the MAXIFY range will work with up to 275gsm media, now this would be the PP-201 Plus Glossy media - https://www.canon.co.uk/printers/inkjet/pixma/photo-paper/pp-201/ Scroll down a little for the other...

    Inkjet colour printer for home-run business (advice pls)

    Print heads should do upto 30000 pages before issue (talking with focus towards the newer G5050, G6050 and G7050, GM2050 and GM4050 - they are also better constructed than the earlier models too, e.g. on the G60ho at least there is a little clamp you can use on the body which seals the ink lines...

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    It is a rear feed, so it would be manual duplex, USB, no WiFi, and Windows only, not Mac OS (since they're pushing manfacturers towards Airprint. . . ) Decent enough printer, Think the heads'll do at least 30,000 pages before you need to worry about anything. I've not personally used that...

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    Possibly, but given that the genuine inks are as economical, ther's little advantage for getting a cheaper alternative, the'yve not gone down the route of putting funny 'keys' arounf the ink tanks and bottles like Epson. . .

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    No issues with the G3500, G4511, or G6050. Though with just a button interface, the G3500 was always a pain to run maintenance on - having to press and hold a button, count flashes etc. . . Regarding the Epson. . . some of that down to the enclosed print head there, the MegaTanks are replaceable...

    What new inkjet printer is easiest to refill?

    I'd second the G-Series MegaTank printers - If they're looking for auto duplex, GM2050, GM4050 (both black-only printers but allow the use of 541 and 541XL cartridges for colour), G5050, G6050 and the G7050.

    Pixma TS8120, no replacement inks...??

    At the very least Octopus Office have the ink. https://www.octopus-office.de/shop/de/nachfuelltinte/nachfuelltinte-canon/canon-pgi-580-cli-581/5367/druckertinten-fuer-canon-pgi-580-und-cli-581-druckerpatronen-6-farben-mit-foto-blau I don't think that a resetter will be to far away now. Edit:-
