I have looked into doing photo transfer and the actual printers are pretty reasonable. Ink on the other is around $70. Well, I am just starting up and haven't had much call for the prints yet, so I am afraid if I don't use it everyday, the ink will dry up. If the print heads dry up, can you just clean them off and they are good to go again? I would hate to ruin $70 worth of ink because I wouldn't use it every day, but I would sure love to not have to run to Wal-mart (30 miles away) whenever I need a pic.
Thanks for the replys. I think I am less squimish about buying one. I did plan on buying a Canon. Thanks again
I am also thinking about buying a printer for transfers.. Can someone give me the Canon model number. I would also like to know where to get the ink and paper. TIA
You can use the Canon iP3000, iP1500 or MP130. You can find them new on eBay for between $50 and $100 or at an office supply shop (MP130). I purchase supplies from www.kopykake.com I use a 2 cartridge which cost about $100-$150 to set up including printer, ink and frosting sheets. I think the iP3000 is the best choice though and it's a bit over $200 to set up.
