Hp z3200 thoughts

[jumeda33]

Hi there,
I have a Canon IPF8300 that is going on the blink. Has been for quite some time. the machine is only six years old and I have changed boards and print heads more often than I think I should have to. My old Hp's never have problems. Does anyone have any thoughts about the Z3200? I am looking for something to print quality fine art with. I typically run canvas and fine art watercolor paper through my Canon so I am looking for something to possibly replace it. Also if this is a good machine does anyone know of any good discounts that are running on it like maybe some show discounts or something like that.
Thanks for any advice.
David

Thanks Phil. Are their heads replaceable if something goes wrong with them? Will it print quality blacks and grey's to make a really nice black and white picture?

5 year warranty on the head... it's a different technology than the Canon or HP... this is a piezo print head.. no heat needed to create the print.. therefore the heads last way longer... but yes the heads can be replaced

they have a PK ( photo K ) and MK ( matte K ) and yes these ARE the photo line printers. they can handle many different medias including canvas / vinyl even WOOD if 1.5mm ( or less ) thick

That sounds pretty good. I saw your link said Lexjet in it. That is actually where I got my IPF8300 and I get my canvas from them as well. I see Epson is offering 1000.00 off.

Hi Phil,
Wow, the thing will print on wood? Never had something like that. I know I asked about the PH being able to be replaced and you said yes but I wasn't very clear in my question. I meant can it or they be replaced by me? Sorry I didn't clarify.
Thanks,
David
