Competing Tank Printers

The major Japanese ink jet printer manufacturers now have competing tank systems:

From Canon

From Epson

Brother does not have a tank system but is marketing a line of "INKvestment" printers that use high capacity cartridges.

HP seems to have tank fed ink jet printer,
HP DeskJet GT Ink Tank System | HP® Philippines
HP DeskJet GT 5820 All-in-One Printer(M2Q28A)| HP® India
but it available only through HP's Philippine and India web sites and it is not marketed or supported in North America.

And an alternative printing technology for those with a somewhat larger budget

Prints made with solid inks are eye popping, but I wonder how well they tolerate bending and folding.

And here is a printer for those otherwise impossible really big jobs

I am thinking this could be used to print models on sheet metal.

RE Dream printer. I spent way too many hours a few years ago looking for an inkjet printer that would print on small pieces of 3/4" wood. It seemed that those T-shirt printers could be adapted, but no one wanted to commit that they would. I finally gave up. Paper is much easier!

The only thing I do not like about the Epson line is that the wide format printer is so expensive. I have one of the 2550 line of printers and am satisfied with it.
