I have an Epson SC-P600 that prints A3+, with excellent quality (I use it mostly for photos and digital negatives), but it's expensive to use, features questionable design choices (ink pads etc.) requires arcane driver / RIP setups for the best results etc. A newer model is out (P700) which solves somes issues (like the matte/glossy black ink swap) but is probably more locked down (important if you plan to use for example full greyscale ink sets like the piezography ones). I had a better experience lately with (smaller, ink bottle type) Canons, I especially like the easily user replaceable print heads. Drivers and software still terrible. What are you goint to be printing?
