Anyone have a 12x12 printer?

I am looking to buy one for my store so I can do some custom pages. If you have one, or have researched one, lend me your knowledge.

I have an HP. Thought I would use it all the time but I think I have used the wide format maybe 10 times in four years or so. But those times it was handy and worked nice.

I have heard great things about the Epson so if I was doing it over again I would start there.

Agreed. I hear wonderful things about the Epson wide format printers. I'm planning to get an R1800 as my next printer, hopefully by the end of the year! There is a less expensive wide format printer now, the R1400, but it uses dye based inks instead of pigment based ones. Everything I've read says that the pigment inks will last longer. However, the R1400 does say that it has a lifespan of up to 200 years when layouts are stored in an album.

Here's Epson's info on the R1400:

and the R1800

and another highly recommended wide format printer, the R2400 (it's very expensive)

I have done some research. and I took a class with a representative from Epson!

I've seen the 1800 in action. I think it's the way to go!

As of right now, Epson.com is offering the 1800 with an EXTRA set of ink cartridges! Big savings in itself!
Plus there is a $75.00 rebate after purchase.

I am supplying you with a code that will get you an extra 10% off.
I almost sure you can piggyback it to any other specials.
The code is only good on purchases from the
website until September 10th, 2007

CODE : 7ZSAKB

Good Luck!
