Printer advice please

Looking for some advice on a printer. Mainly for my own use but also for occasional gift pictures (and maybe more if i can get some pictures sold)

If i can hit the following wishlist i would be over the moon:

1) Upto A3 prints
2) Quality of colour reproduction
3) Price (cheap would be good:p)

Any comments on reliability/cost of ink etc would be great!

I've used an Epson R2400. Nice prints. I'd suspect the comparable Canon printers provide about the same IQ.
On the printing costs: Some comments and links here.

I recently printed 30 or so prints in A3/A3+. Cost for that was about 5 euro's per print (ink and paper)
If you regularly print a big number of big images, bigger ink cartridges might be an advantage.

The Epson R1900 is a great new printer. I have one, and am very pleased with it. The color output is fantastic, and it is not that expensive ($499 on sale with free shipping).

Agreed. I don't typically do my own traditional prints (pain in the ass, expensive, etc - nothing related with quality) but for the CD/DVD covers and other random materials it's extremely nice.

So it sounds like the Epson R2400 is the printer of choice then

Looks like we get stung in the uk though - cheapest price I can find so far is £434.50

But i think it will be worth it!

I paid just under $900 USD, the prices are close.
