How do I print on canvas with a Canon MP640?

Which Printer for CDs, duplex and network?

• I would like to find a new printer for my PC. Specification is it must be capable of printing CDs/DVDs, to print duplex (both sides of paper), and be able to connect to a network (Wifi preferably, but hard wired would be fine. It must have 3rd party compatible inks available. I have looked at Canon printers (iP4700, MP640 and MG6150), the 6150 is the latest but you can only buy genuine cartridges for the ink making it more expensive to run. Any other makes/models out there fulfil this spec?

• Answer:

  Don't forget to take the warranty as well as cost of ink into account. The winner in both categories is Epson. The best deals in photo printers are the Epson Artisan series direct from epson.com as refurbs with full 2 year warranty. These are wireless copier/scanner/fax/photo/CD printers with 6 individual ink cartridges for high photo quality. The best warranty in the industry. For two years, Epson will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one should you need it. I recently bought 3 Artisan 800 refurbs for myself and 2 neighbors. It's an awesome machine! Don't bother with the refurb 810 for $149. For $20 more you can get a brand new one. The 810 can do duplexing. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/BuyEpson/ccProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=-13262 Triple capacity ink cartridges for Epson are under $3 and you can get 20 free cartridges every month at http://www.ccs-digital.com/freeink.asp Be careful with the latest epson printers. They use a brand new cartridge (T125) which you will have a hard time finding compatibles for. Unless you enjoy paying about $70 to replace your cartridges, stick to a printer which uses T069, T078 or T098.
