Which printer for concept art ?

[lukasdesign]

I have the HP B9180,
don't know what CISS means, but it's superb printer!
It comes with 8 cartridges, photoquality is fantastic, on HP glossy paper.
But be aware when printing on highest quality the cartridges don't last long!
Fortunatky the normal quality setting are great as well.I hardly use the highest settings, even for final presentations to clients as differences are minimal, but the lifetime of the cartridges is much, much higher.
What I don't like so much about it is the paper tray, it's a bit clumsy. Annoying also how to change from A4 to A3. the best is to take off the upper tray. set paper size and put the tray back. The Epson system is better, as you put the paper from the back.

hi lukas, i am still looking through google and so far it does look like i will be going for the B9180. As far as i understand CISS means you dont have to keep buying new cartridges.

Here is a link for more information:

these are refillings...but not from HP!
so I would be very careful!

I always by the original HP cartridges!
Only the give the brilliant results, I guess
