Epson SureColor P600 A3+ Inkjet Printer

The baby brother to our favourite home/studio printer (the P800) - this is a very similar machine, just a smaller version. It's not quite as cheap to run, and limited to a 13"/A3+ carriage width, so it's ideal for those with lower volume and size needs.

(If you're tossing up between the two, we'd fairly strongly advise short term pain for long term gain here - the extra ink you get with a P800 means you're really getting the bigger printer for much the same price as the P600, and you'll enjoy the long term lower running costs for the printer's lifetime of course).

Here's Epson's blurb:
