into life but you are overwhelmed well I don't blame you there are so many
printers out there today and picking the right print as an artist is very hard
these days thanks to the vast amount of printers out there I did hours of
research to make this video and I also wrote a whole blog about the topic so if
you need any more in-depth details make sure to check out the blog hello there
you deserve better products
if you agree with that make sure to subscribe so before we start this video
I'm gonna tell you about what you need to know when buying a printer for our
prints so the first step is gonna be determining what size you want to print
on so my suggestion is to go and find a tape measure and find out what size you
want the second question is going to be how often are you going to be printing
your art as a home user there are plenty of options to print your artwork and
amazing photos at cheap prices however if you plan on doing intense printing
and maybe what you want to sell your art prints then you should look into a
high-end printer printers on the higher end will produce gallery quality photos
and they will produce them much faster than the lower end ones they also
usually have bigger ink cartridges which means you won't have to be refilling
them so often and you will usually get better deals on buying ink when you have
bigger ink cartridges another thing you need to know is make sure you know what
paper thickness you're gonna be printing on usually the lower end printers have
less versatility when it comes to paper thickness if you are gonna be printing a
majority of thick media then usually a higher-end printer is gonna be a better
option now we can get started with the roundup so coming up in number five we
have the abscess on shore color p800 inkjet printer this is a high-end beast
of a printer it prints sizes up to 17 inches by 22 inches which is very good
it means that you can print most are projects that you are working on because
I doubt that you're working on something bigger than 17 by 22 inches now let's
talk about the ink so Epson use a pigment based ink on this printer
pigment-based inks are known to be very good with art paper dye-based inks are
another option however they are not recommended because they based inks on
our paper usually give you a faded look so for the richer colors and more
vibrant look make sure stick with pigment based ink
printers so this printer uses epson's ultra chrome HD inks and it ensures
vivid colors and superior black density you see they use a nine color ultra
chrome ink system with up to 2880 by 1440 dpi so the inks on this printer
make it a very good option for printing black and white art prints thanks to the
three level of black colors Epson even promised that prints last up to two
hundred years for coloured prints and up to four hundred years for black and
white prints so if you want the new generations to see your art this is
definitely a good option Epson also use big ink tanks so they use eighteen
milliliter ink tanks which means that you get much better value and buying ink
because you're buying more ink rather than just buying the cartridges and
where this printer excels is with its role media printing capabilities it
excels above all the other printers on this list on role media printing so if
you plan on doing role Media printing definitely stick with this one because
it has a cut and roll media option another good thing about the Epson short
color p800 is the fact that it has very good
versatility so it handles very versatile types of media so even if your gonna
print some thick things people have successfully printed on canvas with this
printer and it's very easy to use thanks to the easy-to-use touchscreen interface
and you can print using USB Wi-Fi and Ethernet the only known con about this
printer is it wastes some ink when switching between black and white mode
and color mode
coming up to number four we have the Connaught Pixma Pro 1000 this is the
high-end printer King so this is gonna be the best high-end printer option it
is very close to the performance of the P 800 however it excels in some other
areas so first of all let's talk about the features it has an amazing anti
clogging technology so if you have used pigment-based in printers before you are
gonna know that they clog up a lot however Canon put an end to this problem
by using their anti clogging technology it uses an extremely fine printhead that
is also replaceable this is the main reason why it's a better option than the
P 800 because if your printer head dies then your printer dies with it because
without a printer head you can't print and thankfully cannot thought about this
so you don't have to replace the whole printer if it goes wrong you just
replace the printhead the Canon pro 1000 uses an air feeding system preventing
page skewing and ensuring accurate in placement so basically what that means
is kind of used some type of air suction that makes sure the paper stays put and
doesn't get stuck in the printer which solves another common problem the ink
used in this printer is the lúcia pro ink system with 11 colors plus chroma
optimizer ink system it totals out with 12 colored inks this printer produces
extremely accurate and deep blacks thanks to the many colors of black in
the ink system it also comes with a software called print Studio Pro v2
which is compatible with Adobe Photoshop this helps you set up your print
correctly and it makes sure that you see what it looks like before you actually
print it out you see another common problem with Prentis is that when you
will look at them on the screen they look amazing and then you print them out
and they look like trash however using this software by panin they solve that
problem the Print Studio Pro shows you exactly what the print is gonna look
like on the screen before it comes out on the paper so you won't be surprised
when you see any problems so you won't be wasting ink you are gonna see
exactly how your artwork is gonna turn out on the screen and then if you're
happy with it you can print it out it also comes with all connectivity options
as other printers USB Wi-Fi and Ethernet you could also print using your phone
however the printer is pretty overkill for that another problem solved by Canon
is that this printer does not use extra ink when switching between modes this
printer is intended for professional use and it will give you amazing results so
if you want the best results possible this is the way to go keep in mind the
only problem with this printer is there is no roll or a media support oh yeah
and it's extremely heavy it weighs 70.5 pounds coming up in number 3 we have the
Canon IP 8720 inkjet this is the best budget printer for artists art prints
for photographers you name it it does an amazing job at a very good price
this printer comes with an amazing 6 color ink system with up to 9600 by 2400
dpi and the most cool thing about this printer is it doesn't drink ink like
others so it's a cheap printer and the ink of it is not too expensive so this
printer uses chroma Life 100 plus cat onyx and Canon guarantee art prints that
are gonna last up to three hundred years when stored properly you could also
print using your phone with this printer and it handles papers and media with
very good versatility it can definitely handle papers that are a little thick
but if you are going for the extremely thick papers go for a higher-end one so
what's so cool about this is at this price we managed to make it look amazing
some people even compare its picture quality to the Pixma Pro 10 so a day
budget you are getting extremely good color quality and it has all
connectivity options like other printers Ethernet USB and Wi-Fi so what separates
this print apart from the rest it has an amazing resolution the resolution on
this print is outstanding it has the highest
resolution on this list 9600 by 2400 dpi you can even print sizes up to 13 by 19
inches so this will definitely cover most of your art projects and what's
close it doesn't weigh as much as the other printers it only weighs 18 pounds
and it's pretty small compared to the others most people who bought this
printer were extremely happy and had no regrets at all and many compared the
results to higher and Prentiss so if your budget isn't too high and you just
want to print stuff then definitely go for this printer without any hesitation
it is a well-known beast of a printer the only con I could find about this
printer is that it is pretty loud coming up in number 2 we have the Epson
expression eco tank 7750 so this printer is for those people
that hate refilling inks if you hate refilling inks and you just hate buying
inks and finding what's compatible and getting it and putting it in and all the
hassle that comes with ink then you are gonna love this printer it includes
enough ink with the printer to print up to 40,000 black pages and 9,000 color
prints so what that means is that you are probably gonna use this printer for
years without even having to buy any inks that is pretty amazing and when you
do need to buy inks you save up to 80% on ink costs with low cost easy to
refill ink bottles usually you end up paying half your money just to buy the
ink cartridge however with this printer you only buy a bottle so you don't spend
any extra for the bottle you are buying the ink itself and not the useless
cartridge you see the reason this printer is very efficient at using inks
is it only has five colors of ink so that leaves you with much less pain or
going through swapping and million ink colors and don't even worry about it the
fact that it has five colors of ink doesn't even affect the media quality
the quality is amazing of the photos on this printer it handles papers and media
with very good versatility and it is easy and simple to use thanks to a 2.7
inch color display you could also enjoy device free
printing it has an SD reader and it has USB slots for easy PC free printing and
you could also print using your phone through Wi-Fi so the quality of the
prints of this thing are out of this world they are very stunning and they
have deep saturated blacks so I honestly don't know how they got their colors so
amazing with five colors but they did it and if you think of it all colors
originate from three colors anyways so somehow they made something right here
all users who bought this printer were very happy with the color quality
although they were skeptical at first so if convenience matters to you and you
want issue free continuous printing then this is definitely a good option for you
coming up in first place is the Canon Pixma Pro 10 this is the middle range
King Canon are doing an amazing job at solving well-known problems and fringes
that's why they are becoming the best printers out there so Canon as usual
solved a good problem you know the problem when you print something and it
looks nothing like it did well Canon solved a problem they use
Canon optimum image utility and make sure use exactly what the print will
look like before you even print it just like in the pro 1000 it is gonna prevent
you from wasting ink and it means that you are gonna know
how it looks before you print it so canon use PGI 72 ink tanks on this
printer with eight different colors they used three different black colors to
make sure that you represent and the printhead on the pro ten is gonna be a
fine printhead technology delivering up to four thousand eight hundred dpi print
resolution the printer print sizes up to thirteen by nineteen inches and it uses
pigment-based inks which are known to be amazing for art or for printing on art
paper so that will ensure you get the best quality art prints printing on
thicker papers with this printer is not a problem and many people have
successfully used it for printing on canvas too but make sure you do a quick
google search to see if people used it to print on the art paper you need the
color quality of this printer is amazing and it is used by many photographers as
a middle-range printer it will give you very accurate colorful photos and canons
in quality is amazing the even proven promised shelf life up to one hundred
plus years and as the other high-end printers on this list the black and
white prints are very deep rich and clean so if you are into black and white
ah prints this will probably be the best option you can go for it is a top of the
class machine with exceptional build quality and just to make it clear it has
a bigger brother at the same price the pro 100 but the only difference is that
the pro 100 uses dye based inks and that is not good for our papers pigment-based
inks are known to be better for our paper so make sure to stick with the pro
