Can anyone recommend a good sub £100 (A4) inkjet printer. I am currently using an ageing HP 930c, but the quality leaves a lot to be desire. When printing B+W it seems to produce a slight orange peel texture, most noticable when reproducing large(ish) areas of the same tone.
I use the Epsom R390 and i find it an excellent printer producing very good prints. It uses the 6 cartridge system which i find pretty good value for money.Can anyone recommend a good sub £100 (A4) inkjet printer.

Note: It is only an A4. I paid around $AUD220 which equates to about 100quid in your funny money

No Clarky, some printers now have greyscale ink cartridges available that improve the quality of B/W prints. I just wondered if these had it - I was just too lazy to look it up on the net. I shall do that later, but now the vacuum cleaner is calling
Is that what that horrible noise is No Clarky, some printers now have greyscale ink cartridges available that improve the quality of B/W prints. I just wondered if these had it - I was just too lazy to look it up on the net. I shall do that later, but now the vacuum cleaner is calling
I had a look in my manual and it doesn't mention anything about greyscale inks

To special order, how about the SMC Pentax-FA* 600mm f4, just the thing if you want to lug around a 7kg lens!

I am not exactly sure where to put this, competitions or here?
I have just recently signed up to photoSIG, a brilliant imformative and inspiring website.
I came across this link which gives some guidance on critiquing photographs, which is what the site is based on.
I thought it a very helpful guide and could be of help to those judging in our competitions:
macro shot gets 1 or 2 and i have wait 3 days to post another pic. But its all fun i guess.
Also the Lady administrator will let you know in no uncertain terms if you are submitting pics for critique and not pulling your weight by critiquing others
Hey Lilly i will make a pact with you, You critique all my pics and i will return the gesture in kind

Clarky, it doesn't bother me either -it's a bit like a ping-pong match that's all.
BTW you should still get an e-mail notification even if pop-ups are blocked.
PS I hope after all this PMing you've managed to sell the lenses!
I was tempted, but am going to hang on till I can get a *
I know you get an e-mail with private messages but i just find it easier to inform the recipient from here if i send a pm as not everyone, me included checks thier e-mail on a regular basis.Clarky, it doesn't bother me either -it's a bit like a ping-pong match that's all.

I wouldn't have thought this type of banter would be a problem in the classifieds section, afterall its not where a lot of people would come to have a discussion except if they were selling or buying. But if it bothers some people i will refrain in future

Since I'm also looking for a printer can I add a question please?
Do either of the above printers also offer greyscale inks for b/w printing?
