Fan of Printing
I read this older article by Rob:
best-inkjet-printer-for-refilling
and would appreciate guidance on what might be the best fit for my situation.
* Currently have Canon Pro 9000-2 and very happy with it, except the size.
* For the past two summers, I've been the volunteer photographer for a "Kids Camps" that takes place at a site outside of Denver.
* I anticipate doing at least 3 such camps this summer, and perhaps more.
* Previously, we made up a DVD with hundreds of pictures, and sent them to each of the campers after the camp was over. That is part of the charge of the camp. We will be doing that again this year.
* We've also uploaded some pictures to a password protected photo-sharing site, but child protection laws are pretty restrictive.
* This summer, we want to "raise the bar" and make letter size photos on-site while the camp is going oin.
* We hope to be able to have some prints ready the next morning, and also for the parents to take-away when they pick up their camper.
* The attendance ranges from 150 to 300, so this is a non-trivial undertaking. Our budget can't justify having the prints made at Sams or CostCo.
* I am not thrilled with taking my Pro 9000-2 remotely, but I probably will.
* I'd like to have a backup ... actually I'd like the 9000-2 to be a backup to this printer.
* Strictly for photos. No interest in all-in-one. Prefer to not have any pigment ink in the device, if possible.
* Prefer to be able to reuse my exisiting OCP ink and resetter for CLI-8 carts.
* Perhaps a more recent CLI-221 based printer would work? My speculation is that the CLI-221 generation is very similar to the CLI-8, but with a different chip. It wouldn't be the end of the world to get a new resetter, and perhaps some different ink, but I'd rather not. And I really would prefer to not have to keep track of two types of carts.
I've about given myself a headache reading reviews and ebay listings. About once a week I have been checking CraigsList, but nothing much had shown up in photo/video. Hmmmm ... just expanded to "all listings" and there are several.
I plan to check out several thrift stores locally and see what turns up. I may put in a WTB (wanted to buy) on CraigsList, but I'm not sure what to specify.
Suggestions appreciated.
