hello all. Anyone know anything about the canon s820? i've had this printer for about 1.5 years and it's been really great for printing my photoart. i use it alot, since i create and print a lot of digital art that I sell at crafts fairs, etc. The problem is that the print quality has really deterioriated in recent weeks. streaks that just won't go away. i've cleaned the crap out of the print heads, still no luck. run an alignment test print, but for at least 2 of the columns, none of the test squares have a streak free choice.
I'm thinking this probably means I need a new print head altogether, in which case it's probably time for an entirely new printer.
anyone have any experience iwth this problem with the canon s820? are my print heads shot (already)?
Alternately, I'm thinking about making the switch to epson. I'd like to be able to print my work on oversized paper (not be limited to 8x10), use archival inks, and be able to print on a wide variety of paper types, including photo, watercolor, canvas, greeting card stock, etc., as i'm working toward getting a digital art business going. I'm also hoping to do a lot of photo restoration as part of this business, and so I need something that can print both digital art and retouched photographs well.
My father has graciously offered to help me purchase a printer that will enable me to do all this, so now's my chance to get something really good.
any advice on the right printer would be really really appreciated!!
thank you so much for your help!!
