    New A4 Photo Printer required

    Evening all,
    My trusty Epson Stylus Photo R 300 is on its last legs, and in need of replacement. Recent experience of Epson printers is not good, so I am thinking about a Canon Photo printer to take its place, but am unsure which is the best model for amateur use. I am not looking for an all purpose printer/scanner, but a printer just for photos up to A4.
    Any advice please?

    I have the all in one MG7150 which is a super printer and has been used to print shots both for sale and competition.

    Worth checking out the up to date models 7550 or 7750 at around £140

      7550 includes scanner/copier functions but it prints great photos on decent paper. Highly recommended, had it over a year with not the slightest hiccup or blocked nozzle (I had epsons before!) I sell stuff printed on this and people come back and buy more.

        100% agree with Paul. The 7550 is a great all in one. I use it for work and for home printing. It's so good I bought the bigger A3 version, the IP8750. It may not be an all in one but it uses the same inks and prints excellent A3's

          Thanks for the advice so far. Looking at the Canon online shop the 7550 doesn't feature anymore,so I guess it has been succeeded by the 7750?

            Why just look at the Canon shop. Argos are selling at £99. The up to date model 7750 is also widely available at pcworld, Amazon, johnlewis etc. If you decide on either, then you can also get replacement compatible inks from First Call Inks - less than £20 for two full sets

              Thanks for the price tips Stan. I was only looking at the Canon shop to see which models are current. As always I shall 'shop around' before buying.

                  For the life of me I cannot find the MG7750 at £99 or anywhere near it at the retailers you suggest. Canon Shop is in fact £10 cheaper than some retailers, such as WEX and Park cameras! I guess you were meaning the 7550.
                  Thanks anyway.

                      I just had another delivery from First Call today, highly recommend them too. I've been using their inks since the supplied Canon ones ran out with no ill effects at all.

                          Thanks for all the advice and tips. I now have a MG7750 (7753 actually, colour tones better with the furniture!), and having printed wirelessly circa 30 prints from both my W7 laptop and my iMac am well pleased with the performance, and colour rendition straight from the box.
