Default Film printing

I am looking to purchase a film printer form my screen printing operation. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to purchase? Everything points to Epson Black max. Please let me know.
Thanks
Greg

I would say that it would depend on how big you want to print your images. I just bought an Epson 1400 and it's awesome for what we do. Allows for a max print of 13" wide. Only drawback is that it doesn't do sheets, but again, for what we do it's perfect.

If you're looking to use rolls of film, then the 4800 or 4880 is the way to go.

I would also suggest shopping around for the printer and breaking down the "packages" that some screen suppliers get you. I went through this process not a long time ago, and I was able to save $120 by getting stuff separately. I purchased my printer at an online store and with the rebate, you're looking at $189.95 out the door. You could actually see if a local office max or depot would do a price match for you so you can get it immediately.

maybe it was a typo...but all the epson 1400 prints is sheets.

We use an epson 1400, with accurip and an all black ink system, and it's great.

Also try searching craigslist for bigger used epson printers. just make sure the heads aren't dried up.
