I want to get a better printer..the one I have does fair but not
really as great as I know I could upgrade to.
Who loves their printer and would recommend it?
Getting a wide format epson is not in my future as I am happy to send
all my LO's out for printing. I am looking for something that would
do great printing for the hybrid challenges and to print out photos for framing
when needed.
BTW...I am currently using an HP All-in-one 1510 that is about 5 yrs. old.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I big fat puffy heart my Epson. It's an old model, the C340, but I adore it. I'm starting to have trouble finding ink for it though, which totally bums me out. But I also noticed that Epson has a wide format or two in their clearance center for CHEAP, so I might go that route.

Anyway, I heart Epson. I print tons of hybrid stuff out on it all the time, and my cartridges last me quite a while.

ETA: My ink carts are only hard to find cuz my printer is like 5 years old. Just wanted to add that so you didn't think all epson ink was hard to find

I have loved my CANON Pixma iP 3000 since 2004... a fabulous one! Once it stops working I will buy a CANON printer again...

Add me to the list of Epson fans. I had a Stylus RX500 for years until it got damaged when I moved. So I bought an Epson Artisan 810 last fall. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Prints beautifully, colors are amazing, it's an all-in-one, and it's WIRELESS!

thanx for the suggestions...and the wireless idea is a plus.
I will surely be checking out those brands.

We have a Canon Pixma iP8500 and I LOVE it! I print all my layouts on it at 8x8 and it comes out fantastic. For my everyday printing we have a Canon iP4300, and it's good too, but not as good on photos.

I love my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and it will print up to 13x19 ... which means I print my 12x12 and add TWO 6x6 layouts at the bottom. ...and I also print 8x8 layouts. I like the flexibility.
