I'm a pen and ink artist on a budget. Does this printer produce prints that would look nice framed and matted on someone's wall?

Yes, the quality of prints is good but the printer itself can be cranky at times. Be prepared to fuss with settings, drivers, and the paper feeder.

I don't see why not. I am also an artist and have made beautiful prints of my paintings using this printer. For best results, a good quality scanner is mandatory. Mine is a large-format scanner that handles a 12 X 17 image, but if you work smaller, a standard size scanner should be fine. Also try to use the best photo paper you can afford- I prefer a matte surface.

YES You will be very satisfied. Be sure to choose BEST when setting up print. I am a graphite artist and can print larger prints.

Yes. In fact, that is the reason I purchased mine. Depending on the media and/or color your results may vary. My work is mostly black and white lots of pen and ink. So, I am very happy with the results.

I can't answer about drawings.....It takes the digital image from my Nikon and produces very fine photo quality prints, suitable for framing......
1694302
Not really. Since you will likely be feeding individual sheets, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, definitely. You will have to carefully configure your printing application.

I've been in photography my whole life and used the finest Epson photo printers and Canons too, and this little Brother does just fine as long as you use quality photo paper and select the paper type (and other settings) in the "preferences" before you print. Do some tests using various settings to find your favorites. Note that "matte" paper is MUCH less costly than other types and that "semi-gloss" is MUCH preferable to "gloss" (it's what the pros use).

Yes and it does a very nice job BUT remember photo printers often have 5 to 9 ink cartridges for the finest definition and graduation in color and blacks. Most people would be very happy with a photo from this printer. To be sure I printed a photo on my professional $1400 photo printer and this printer . The print was very acceptable but not true photo quality. Most would not notice unless they were side by side. In the recent past I have owned photo all in one like the - Epson Expression Photo XP-850 - 6 color --- they do a beautiful job for photos but ate more expensive to use. It all depends just how particular you are!

I don't see why they would not be crisp and clear. This printer is used for critical fine-art photography. However, I think, this printer might be an overkill for such use. The ink that this printer uses is for producing archival quality prints with extremely accurate colors. Would you be printing on photo papers? If you are going to be printing on photo papers, and the color accuracy is important, this printer should be able to print, in my opinion - although I have no experience with CAD files and such.

Depends on your definition of "quality pictures". This printer all print acceptably, but not professional photo lab quality. There are far better printers on the market for photo printing (look for one that uses more colors).

Yes, it prints very nicely on laser photo printer paper, either glossy or matte.

This is a really good printer and it does come with a drum unit ready to install. I think it is one of the smaller capacity ones though.

yes, the images are excellent quality. I use epson paper specifically watercolor radiant for proofing and Velvet for finished product. As with any printing you must check your colors carefully, if in doubt I lighten images. I digital "paint" photos. The paper is good enough to draw on the ink which is what I do. Make sure you use the correct side of the paper!!

I've never tried it. The inks are so cheap on Amazon that I just put whatever is needed. At first I never cared for this printer, but used the others I had. I now use this as my workhorse, especially for eBay sales that I use it all the time because of cheap ink. Works fine with cheap paper, and also does a good job for photos on the best setting. Cheaper to operate than my other three printers. Used about 2 years.

It depends on what kind printer and a app that you can find for it. I know with my printer ( Canon MX472 ) that it does fulfill all my printing needs. A shout to WolVol for a great netbook!

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

This printer can handle just about anything. The best thing to do is create a profile for the programs that you want to print from, calibrate the monitor that you are using and then you should be fine. It will take a few test prints to figure out exactly how you want your prints to look like. Once your profile is set you will be completely satisfied with your prints. Keep in mind that it is also recommended to redo the profile and calibration of your monitor after a few months of hard use, this will ensure that your prints are exactly how you want them. This printer has been the best investment that I have made. I use Adobe InDesign and Photoshop with my printer and this printer has produced some of the best prints that I have ever produced. You will not be disappointed with this printer.

it works really good on plain and premium paper. It works on USB connection and network. I connected this printer to my home network. my whole family loved to prints 11x17 most of the times.

Ink is always relatively expensive. Especially the Ultrachrome inks. But if you are going to be using really good paper, like Hahnemhle fine art paper, you will want really good ink that lasts. The cartridges for the R3000 are larger than those for general purpose printers (like the Epson Artisan series). So you are getting more ink per cartridge. And, it pays to shop around. But fine art printing requires the highest quality paper and ink. That said, I wouldn't consider using this printer for printing anything other than high quality photographs. (I use a lesser printer for everything else.)

It is perfect for black &white; printing. And if you do decide you want color. ..Does a great job. The printer does a few extras., but I think you like them. For instance: it is an e printer (wireless) which is really cool. The cost is reasonable, the size fits nicely on my desk and I love mine. Simple to operate. I have not printed any photos but it should do well with that too. I very much recommend this printer.

Sorry, I am a life long Mac person, but I would think a printer of this brand and price point would be. Suggest you Google your question. Also you might try to find a PC users group online and post your question there.
