Re: Field Conditions,was: A3 printer recommends please

In your situation, Dave, you may just have to consider your printers a short 
term investment. It might be best to use the cheapest that will do the job and 
replace them every few months. I know of none that are designed for a dusty 
environment, and even if they are some sealed printers made they would be very 
expensive.

Hi all.
Now i have several examples of printers other than my Canons,thanks to Bill and Wendy.
But, i tend to use my printers and computers in some pretty dusty,hot,windy,fly infested
conditions.I 
have noticed i have to service the S800 quite often as the pull down rollers stop pulling
down,have to 
push it a bit,and after a few months in the field i noticed,under light bulb light
only,not under normal 
daylight,very fine,less than hair llike scratches on the papers surface.None noticed with
Ilford papers.

Has anyone used their Epson,say 925 or so or Olympus dye sub in field conditions such as
mine.???The 
photographer that sold me the D1 mentioned the dye sub's can produce a poor quality print
if ANY 
dust/dirt gets in the ribbon/ink/paper. Wendy said her first on site went well with good
quality prints.

Any comments.

Dave
