NiteWalker 10 Posted June 27, 2010 Bring your own image to print, and a sample of the material you'll primarily be printing on. You'll be able to see the results firsthand and make a decision from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted June 27, 2010 that's a lot lower price than I generally see them. If nothing else, you can turn it around and make some money on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 27, 2010 What are you planning on printing with it?? Inside sales posters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrc1962 0 Posted June 27, 2010 What are you planning on printing with it?? Inside sales posters? I was thinking the same thing. The HP printers are not well recognized for their graphics printing like Epson. You see the HP's more in office environments. I used to have one for printing from AutoCAD. I did a few posters for the business and they turned out OK, but nothing like what a high end Epson turns out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 27, 2010 It would be great for indoor printing - we used to use an old 750C for some indoor graphics at the GIS shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
