My new toy!

Out of all the wedding/crafting things I could have bought (and would still love to)—like the Cricut, Cuttlebug or Gocco—I think this was a better investment. And considering that my old printer that I did our STDs on is about 12 years old, I was in desperate need for an upgrade.

I bought the Epson R1900 Large Format Photo Printer from Amazon, after doing a ton of research on CNET, my favorite site for electronics reviews. Here’s the capabilities I’ll get to use (from Amazon):

The Epson R1900 sets a new standard in glossy printing. This powerful, wide-format printer offers incredible versatility so you can explore all your creative aspirations. With Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss® 2 pigment ink, the R1900 delivers vibrant photos up to 13 inches wide. Offering the highest level of media versatility of any printer in its class, this remarkable performer prints on a wide variety of media types including glossy, luster, matte and fine art papers. The Epson R1900 also includes innovative Radiance technology, co-developed by R.I.T., to maximize the color gamut while simultaneously optimizing print quality. Radiance technology reduces grain, provides smoother color transitions and ensures colors stay consistent in virtually any lighting condition. It also boasts incredible performance when it comes to higher resolution printing. So, explore your creativity and achieve superior results with the Epson R1900.

I’m super excited to try it out!

Did you recently invest in a new color printer? Which did you choose and why?

I haven’t had a working color printer in a long time, which is one of the reasons I’ve had to outsource so much of my printing. I’m starting to think it would have been more economical, long-term, to pick up a good one! It’s not like it wouldn’t get used after the wedding.

I need to! Mine is new, but it’s not awesome (i.e. one of those free ones you get with a computer purchase from my parents). I did buy a Cricut yesterday, though! SO EXCITED! I can’t open it til Christmas, though, since it’s technically a gift.

I’ve been oogling new printers also! I don’t have a working color printer and I keep telling my fiance how much easier this wedding stuff would be with one. I am looking in to buying a Canon all-in-one because I have a Canon camera and would love to just insert my memory card and print!
