Looking for Printer suggestions. - 01-12-2011, 05:35 PM


My old HP 970cse printer is starting to give me frequent jamming problems so I am looking for something to replace it. And too, I don't think the current 6 year old Mac drivers for this printer are very well written either.

I want something that does a pretty decent job on photos, (8X10) but can still do ordinary letter text type printing too. Wireless network or bluetooth would be good.

Price range of up to $300. Or maybe even $400 if that's what it takes.

Any Suggestions from your own experience?

Thanks...

I bought a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II and i absolutely love it!!
Canon Direct Store- PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II

There is also the Epson R2880 and the Pro 3880

Pro 3880

Check out B&H Photography, they have some sales going on on printers right now if i remember correctly. Basically the more inks you have the better color quality you are going to have, but on the other hand the more expensive they get. Get a good printer now and you won't be wanting the one you should have gotten.

Good Luck!

I installed one of these a week ago for a friend. I have always used HP, but their latest Photosmart printers have reverted back to two color cartridges. I am really impressed with the Canon's colors and print speed.
