Re: budgeting for a printer
August
Ink costs are a key part of calculating the value of running a printer. Generally the wider the printer, the cheaper the long term costs as ink plays such a large part in it (it's been said many times before that ink is worth much more than gold in weight). You need to look at the printer you're interested in to determine running costs. A quick google shows that an Epson 3800 is around 2 times more economical than the Epson 2400 purely due to the larger (and therefore cheaper) cartridges. I did have a link to a great cost comparison spreadsheet that had info for all the A3 and A2 pigment printers, but can't recall it for now. Things like ink usage is where the money goes though if you print often.
