We are about to buy some new printers for the office anyone got any good recommendations? We currently have 2 Epson Photo Stylus 1290 and the are shagged.

Good printers though. I've had my 1290 for ages now and it still goes like a train. I think they've now got the super-big printers to print at 1290 quality, so if it was me I'd get the modern 1290 equivalent and an Epson A1 or A0 printer too becuase you can gang a whole job up on one sheet and get the same quality.
Mind you, probably about 400x the price for cartridges.

You should get laser. Bit more expensive, but worth it in quality and consistency. Check out www.documentlogic.co.uk

Just got an Epson R1800 myself, and I can't recommend it enough. As for a laser printers I'm not sure about that as laser printers don't quite hit the same colour depth/range as ink jets can, but then again, I don't know how far they've come in the last few years.

as far as i am aware lasers are as dull, streaky and shit today as they always were, plus the paper's all shiny too. on the upside though they're faster and are postscript out of the box.
- plus they're highly toxic and prone to fatal jamming.Studiospooky
- plus theyre about 1000 times more expensive.Studiospooky

I've been looking at getting a new printer too. Be interested to see what people say.
How many cartridges are you getting through? The current printer here chews through them, it works out cheaper to send them to the print/copy place down the road.

when you have a 144 page annual report to print out 3 times a day because of amends I would want nothing else than a laser. Fuck colour - thats what the proof is for...
- I agree with that. Was going to say it depends on the end-use.Studiospooky

btw... kushman is on to a good thing... you can get a page plan for 112 quid a quarter and you pay for NOTHING else apart from paper...

What do your printers need to do? Are they for volume or quality? Accuracy or size? Have you dug through Filter results to see previous printer recommendation threads?
