I need consistent colour

[KFCI]

Hi People,

I have a Canon EOS 5D MK II and am about to purchase a few new photocopiers for my offices. I would love to get awesome pictures printed from my Canon SLR, but specifically want to know if the advance range of Canon photocopeirs will be any good?

I've seen this range on www.canonimagerunneradvance.co.uk (http://www.canonimagerunneradvance.co.uk) and want to know if anyone has heard any reports about these machines?

They look quite new.

Hi KFCI and welcome to POTN.

Sorry - I don't know anything about the linked photocopiers. Being office oriented I'm sure they'll give you colorful prints, but not on the order of the photo inkjet printers that most of the folks here use. Office copiers are typically high speed, high volume devices geared to catalog printing, Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations. They are typically not designed has high rez photo printers.

Placed in a side by side comparison with standard photo printers you will be disappointed with the night and day difference. Also, you won't have a choice of output paper as you do with the variety of fine art media available for most photo printers.

Specifically how do you plan on using your 5DII relative to the photocopier.... what sort of applications or purpose do you have in mind? - Stu

Photocopiers are not designed to output quality prints, imo.

You'd be better off with something like an Epson R2400 or 3800 for prints and just buy an all in one printer for the photocopy/printing aspect of whatever you want to do.

Depends on what you are looking to produce.
Pretty pictures for your wall? Inkjet is probably the way to go.
Books, notepads, greeting cards? these may function well.
