Inkjet printers are the best for quality art prints, and choose the highest colour ink system you can, ideally (they start at 6 and run to a 10-colour process).

(Take a look at our buying guide to the best portable printers for more like this.) What type of printer is good for art prints? I'd suggest this is used in tandem with one of the larger home printers on my list.
The app can be a little temperamental and the printer has a tendency to auto-crop areas of the image, which could be frustrating when printing art from a tablet.īut, as a mobile printer the Canon Selphy CP1300 is a fun way to take your digital art on the go it's also a great way to paint and collect references when out and about so digital plein air painters will love it. The small LCD screen enables you to set prints from the machine itself or use the Cannon app, which works with Apple devices. This printer uses dye sublimation for quality prints and each only takes less than a minute to print. But, the Canon Selphy CP1300 can also be used to print-off art directly from your iPad or other tablet. You can use this tiny printer – it's small enough to slip into a shoulder bag – as it's primary to print lab-quality photos directly from your camera, which is great for scrapbooking and collecting reference photos.
The Canon Selphy CP1300 is the portable printer that makes digital art on the move a little more fun. However, if you're printing 10-30 photos a month you'll be fine, anything above this and you may need to look at a more costly printer with lower running costs. It will also churn through ink too, so beware running costs are a little high.
The only real downside to this printer is the cost – while it's a well-priced printer for the quality it offers, the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 only supports Epson ink cartridges, which are expensive. It's compact but a little heavy for a smaller machine, but once set up and in place you won't mind. The results are excellent, its six-colour printing process offers deep and rich colour pigments and while not the fastest it does print at a decent pace – black and white photos have a 8.5 ppm speed. As well as standard paper formats it features a rear tray for special or heavier paper stock. It can print up to A3, features scan and copy functions and comes with an excellent app to control all of your prints and ink orders.

(This does make the Epson SureColor SC-P900 a little more expensive to run than some on this list.)īut if you're looking for professional results from your prints, and want them to last and not fade then the Epson SureColor SC-P900 is the best on this list, just be aware of the extra costs involved.įor the price – sub $200 / £200 – the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 represents excellent value for money. The print results speak for themselves – photos and art prints are deep and colours rich and vibrant, as this printer uses an UltraChrome 10 ink system to deliver a vast array of tones – these inks are: Cyan, Light Cyan, Vivid Magenta, Vivid Light Magenta, Yellow, Gray, Light Gray, Violet, Photo Black, and Matte Black. This is the only downside to a professional art printer that's actually nicely sized and suitable for home use. The only downside is the ink supplied with the printer won't last long.
#Photo copy art mac#
Onboarding is a little mixed the Epson SureColor SC-P900 is easily setup and comes with connectivity to Mac and PC, as well an on-printer LCD touchscreen to help you manage our prints. This art printer can deliver some excellent results, including panoramic prints to cut sheets up to 17 by 22 inches (though this requires a roll feeder that's bought separately). The Epson SureColor SC-P900 is one of the more expensive art printers on my list but you get a superb printer for your money.
