Hello everyone. My HP 7500 wide format all in one is not very old but having paper grabbing and false jam problems. I have a home based business and must have a all in one. I am unhappy with this printer company, the quality is not there anymore. My question is do you always print your 12x12's? Have you ever outsourced them and where do you send them to. I can't seem to find another company that has a wide format all in one with an auto feeder. I have been unable to find a company that prints the 12x12 format.

Hello Linda, I don't print any 12x12 layouts and I do most all of my printing at home, but here is a link which may be helpful to you: Printing Companies HTH

I would love to have a wide format printer too - right now there are just no funds available to buy one, but it's on my wish list. Hope you will keep us posted on what you decide upon.

I'd love to have a wide format printer, especially an all in one! But I just don't have the space. Good Luck finding one!

Ditto that, Carla! Not only do I not have the $$$$$, I don't have any more space! Rich had a new computer desk made for me as a surprise for Christmas - it's much bigger than my old one and it will hold my desktop and both of my printers - but don't think it would hold a third printer.

I decided against the large format printer and went with a Epson Workforce Pro 4540. I go thru a printer every 1 - 2 years. The last one was a wide format, unfortunately I never printed my 12x12 layouts! :( I went for the heavy duty printer because I print a lot of recipes and ideas for my dream log home portfolio, as well as photos. If I need pro prints I take them to the camera shop or send to Shutterfly. I also decided to send my 12x12 layouts to one of the labs on the list TeeCee sent me or the one Pat Barnes sent (my fb buddie). Once I made this decision it was easier to find the right all in one.

Thanks for the list and renewing the interest again for all in ones. FYI the hottest all in ones this Christmas were the Epson Artisan 837 and Workforce 845, and the Canon PIXMA MX882. They are compatible with the ipad and iphones Air Print making them so HOT!

Happy New Year ladies.

Linda

I have an older Epson 1280 that prints 12 x 12. To be honest though, I've been printing through scrappingsimply.com the last couple years and just LOVE them. They have twice yearly sales (get on their newsletter for an even deeper discount) so I get layouts printed twice a year. If I need something printed quickly, I can still use my Epson. scrappingsimply prints on Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper, which just happens to be my favorite photo paper too:)
