Default What printer is best for us?

just need a half descent printer for in the design studio

mainly be used for printing off proofs etc

Would a colour Laser be our best bet?

would like the ability to print A3 but the budget is under £200 so i think this is stretching things

I would say a colour laser would be sufficient.

Lasers are quicker than inkjets but I still think you get better results from a good inkjet printer. You'd need to spend a large amount of money to get the same results from a laser.

I'd recommend the Canon iX4000 - A3+ Photo Printer.

You can get it from Amazon for £225. It is an excellent border-less A3 printer.

Combine this with a continuous ink system and you'll be sorted
