What about a Canon iPF5000 for € 899,00 :
It's an older model I believe but it can print A2+ format (17 inch) and has 12 colours.
Ain't 100% sure they ship outside the Netherlands but you can always give them a call link
I couldn't link you to the printer directly but search for the printer type or for the article number 120626

Make sure every photo you own isn't orphaned on the web by following the three points I mentioned earlier. I know it won't stop any one to grab them and use them for their own benefit (without paying for it), but at least you have covered everything at your end to assure a firm legal basement to sue.Of course it is theft but allowed by law... what do you want to do about?
What I wanted to say is; sue who?
From what I understand the company needs to pay the goverment then to use the photo so I believe that means the goverment is giving premision then to the company to use the photo. That would mean all went according to the law so who should I sue?

Sorry Stefan, but this is b*ll*cks. The one who is making a profit is also the one who has to be accounted for. Your statement is exactly what they are waiting for. Hiding behind deny-ability. Every company who uses work of some one else to gain profit should convince themselves they have permission to do so. It's just plain theft...which way you turn it.I can not blame the company since they bought those right from an illegal dealer, so the logical thing is to sue the one who is selling those rights illegaly, the UK goverment.
The diffence with what you say is that I can't blame the company for using this law if the UK goverment allow it, also you couldn't sue the company because they paid a fee to use it according the law so they are coverd. All you can do is sue the goverment for illegaly selling your art and make sure the company can't use your art because they got it through illegal practise.
In short.
If the law is there it would be hard to sue the company directly since they did what the law allow them to do.
Of course it is theft but allowed by law... what do you can to do about?

Stefan,
I work within the Adobe Creative Suite with InDesign and Illustrator. They are not cheap programs, but what you can do with them in an hour used to take days before computers. It might pay for you take take a few type and design courses to get a better feel for graphic designing. As in any design, remember to think outside the box.

But then I believe that my work is protected by Dutch laws.
So, if you post a photograph on a Dutch web site, it gets 'used' by a British 'based' company that is working in South Africa, producing packaging for a product made and packaged in China for the Brazilian market. Who are you going to sue?
If the UK opens up this 'opportunity' for people after cheap, or free, images then it will become a loophole that they can exploit.
And if the legislation surrounding this 'opportunity' is written and constructed in such a way that it becomes the photographers responsibility to pursue their royalties then it will inevitably lead to vast amounts of royalties that will never be claimed. And let's take a guess as to what happens to the fee that the user will pay to whatever organization is set up to deal with these 'orphaned' pictures?
My bet is on the government taking a big share it.
If they could tax us for farting, they would.
The matter does not change the UK goverment is selling the rights to use my photo to the British based company.But then I believe that my work is protected by Dutch laws.

That they have a law that they can do that in the UK does not give them the right to force the law on another country. Since I would be the holder of the copyright and living in the Netherlands those rights aply on my art not the UK one.

If a company would pay money/fees to the UK government I think they should go free then since they did pay the fee to use the art so if I should sue someone that would then be the UK government for selling the rights of my art without my premisson... now that's going to be interesting case in court.
It's only going to cause them problems, if you aren't sure from who the photo is then just don't use it. You're always free to hire someone to take the same photo

I've done 2 things now just by luck, one is a cover for a book and the other is a cover for a menu of a restaurant.
It's indeed hard to make a good water mark also you need to think of one that isn't easy to clone out of course.
I'll have a go and see what I can come up with for myself

Yeah it's time to make a water mark.
hmmm maybe I can start my own watermark business designing watermarks, anyone interested?

Stefan as I said I didn't look up whether there was one yet, it was just a thought.
