Advise required for a canvas printer & RIP
Hi Everyone
My head is totally frazzeled (doesn’t take much LOL)
I have spent ages looking into a printer to do just canvases and posters.
And it not any clearer to me now… I am even more confused, there is just too many options.
HP, Cannon, Epson…
Can you just shout out what make you use to print yours and if you`ve had a bad experience with a certain model also mention that.
What inks should I be using and avoiding. You talk to the sellers and of course theirs is the best and others are the worst.
I just don`t want to make a silly error.
Our budget is £2500 or should we spend alittle bit more and get a better model???
EDIT AFTER READING A REPLY…. What about a RIP for it, do most come with a rip????
I will be truly grateful for any help

Hi Denise. For me it’s got to be the Canon iPF range.
I used to install and train on a large range of all three of the makes you mention and to be fair, they’re all very good. Historically, Epson would be higher quality but slow and HP would be faster but not as good quality. Canon then came along and pitched their iPF range as Epson quality at HP speed and they achieved it in my opinion. I think there’s a lot of brand loyalty goes on with the aqueous printers so whichever one you go for I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. My only gripe with the Canon is the price of the consumables. Maybe that’s what should be the deciding factor….?
Good luck with whatever you choose and remember that a lot of the output quality is down to the RIP too.
