Hi,

Our Canon printer is on its last legs, emitting strange groaning noises and a wonky paper tray. So time to look for a new one. Primary need is one with good quality scanning/printing of old photographs (generally on the large size) and my wife's watercolor paintings. I really don't want to invest in a dedicated scanner. Price limit is ~$200; if we can save on inks that would be great but our useage is probably not worth going with re-fillable or large cartridges. We use Apple computers.

Cheers,

Jim

Do you want A3 size printer/scanner then look at the Epson range, they do a series in printer/scanners. I am in Australia so no point me giving you links. Just do a search for Epson printer/scanners. I have been happy with mine.

I'd check HP, and watch for sales on Canon https://acephoto.net/printing/inkjet-printers/canon-pixma-ts9020-wireless-all-in-one-inkjet-printer-white/

I appreciate the replies. Are there any dedicated web sites to reviewing printers? I see too many fluff publications talking about "best of 2020" but seem little more than paid links to vendors.

Cheers,

Jim

go to dpreview.com and they have a dedicated printer forum where you can get expert input actual user experiences.

Another place to check reviews is the wire cutter. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-all-in-one-printer/

Hi,

I don't know if it's big enough for your needs, but for simple scans I use an EpsonXP-4100. For detailed scanning I use an Epson V800 scanner, but they are pretty pricy.

Have Fun,
Jeff
