What home printer is best for my new wedding stationery business? -

i want to print both text and graphics on card up to A3 size , with a maximum wieght of 300gm card stock. preferably on a colour inkjet printer. Any advice gratefully recieved .

You won t find a home printer that will do what you need. Choose a laser printer, but look at the specs carefully. Sure laser toner appears to be expensive, but these do last a lot longer than inkjet, also the result doesn t run when the paper gets damp. Look for a model with a straight paper path, so that it doesn t bend your card. Make sure you see samples of output as the picture an colour rendition vary significantly from model to model. Some colour photocopiers can by used as network printers, it might be worthwhile leasing or renting one of these if your volumes warrant it.

Hp commerical grade lines that are using a lazer jet printer, in the long run the catridges will be less expensive to replace then a home printer.

look at color lasers, not ink jet... if you want a quality end product that will last and not run should it get moist, the laser is the way to go... a few inkjets do offer waterproof inks, but as a norm, no... I would look at HPs line or Lexmark in the color lasers... yes, Lexmark makes cheap (crap) inkjets, and better ones, but they are known for their lasers... Plus your end speed will be much better and the amount of fine detail will be sharper in the end...
