Hello. First post here guys. Feel free to send it to a more appropriate forum if needed...
My wife is a graphic designer, recently laid-off and now pushing her freelance work. Last year we bought a 24" iMac and the adobe creative suite in anticipation of the company's "cut-backs". Along with that we purchased the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. The salesperson said it would be perfect for what she does.
It turns out the printer isn't perfect. It prints great photos...awesome photos. But detailed graphics/text on non-photo paper is very lacking and my wife and I have tried tweaking settings etc... She does lots of business cards, flyers, brochures, wedding invites, business logos, etc... She usually prints the final products through a professional printer, but she would really like to be able to print at home so clients could see an instant result and for her own personal portfolio and a long list of other reasons.
What printer would you suggest? She is usually working through Illustrator. She just keeps saying "We should have got an Epson"...
price range of $100-$500 Thanks!
