I am such a NEWBIE, so please excuse me if I am ignorant.
I have stated in a previous post that I have my eye on the Epson SC P400/600. Unfortunately I am saving up for this printer but I a am really eager to start with printing my own Graphics right away.
So I stumbled across the Conon Pixma IP 7240 this printer is affordable for me right now, obviously I know it will NOT match the Epson SC P400 or 600.
I just want to know if it will be a good idea to buy the Canon ip7240 and use interim until I can afford the Epson. Or should I just rather save the many?
My main concerns for a printer at this moment is Media Handling, I need it to handle thick media 300gsm - 400gsm, I know that the Canon's specs states that it can handle up to 300gsm (Canon specialised photo paper) but will it handle 300(+)gsm other, non-canon media, Without harming the printer?
I would probably only use OEM cartridges at first.
I would be making +/- 5-15 A4 prints per week, mostly graphics prints and not photo prints.
