Printer suggestion: Printing covers

Post by pheria »

Hey guys,

Just discovered this site a few months ago (and a few months before that picked up steam with retro gaming) and this is my first time on the forum.

I'm reaching out to try and find a solid, budget printer. The only thing I need it to is print video game covers on legal sized paper of good quality. My Universal Game Cases just came in, and I'm ready to start pumping out some covers. Trips to FedEx are a bit inconvenient, and certainly add up. I'm a bit lost with all the different choices, and fairly ignorant with printers. Ideally, I'd like to see something under $200.

The best solution I could think of was to ask people who may be doing the same thing for tips and experiences. So, what's your printer and how does it do for printing your covers? =]

Thanks!

I've been using this printer and have been very happy with it so far:



I had previously used a different model of Epson that was top loading and found that after a while it had problems feeding in the heavy paper stock I was using. This one loads from the bottom and has never had issues. It's quite fast and the ink dries by the time the next sheet comes out (if you're printing several SNES covers, for example) so you can fire and forget it.
