Hi Guys,
This is not actually for me but for the man that does my framing. He wants to buy a professional printer that prints mostly canvas, some watercolor papers. He's looking for something that can print 24" - 30" which means he would probably need something that prints 36" taking in consideration he needs extra to wrap the canvas.
Now, I've a small printer, 13 x 19, Epson and I love it and have used Epson before and always loved their printers. I do however not know anything about these much bigger and much more expensive printers.
I'm feeling a bit of pressure to help him choose something that he will be happy with.
So far, I think the Espon 9890 (9 inks - 44 inches wide) and the Espon 9900 (11 inks - 44 inches wide)
seem to be good choices. Both are pigment-ink based, which I believe is what should be used on canvas.
Does anyone have any experience with these types of printers?
If yes, should I be looking at a different brand?
Besides a computer and a scanner for art works, any other equipment needed that needs to be taken into consideration?
Since most of the works are reproduced on canvas, is the 11 inks really necessary?
Any information would be appreciated.
