Epson PictureMate Print Pack - print cartridge / paper kit

Advantages: High quality print-outs, quick

...The Epson Stylus Color 1160 is an excellent printer. It combines the fast printing speed and excellent print quality of other epson printers, for example the Epson Stylus Color 760, with the ability to print on A3+ sized paper. Print quality is excellent on specific photo paper, and is arguably the best quality I have seen outside of a professional print bureau.

Ink cartridges are significantly cheaper than HPs (they may not contain the same amount of ink but are easier... Read review

The printing quality is first class, with colour and sharpness making the prints as good as photo prints. Black text printing is sharp without any ink bleeding, even on the low print setting. Print speeds is fast and the paper loading is trouble free and the paper feeds in straight. Overall this is a excellent printer and Epson had continued these high stands throughout their range....
