IMO the Epson R800 and R1800 are hard to beat. They will give results as good as a lab and are reasonably economical to run. As for cheap, the R800 is around $500 street price and the R1800 around $1100. For that money you get pigment (paint) based inks with excellent light fastness (>80 years quoted with some media) and A4 (R800) or A3+ (R1800) printing (A3+ is roughly 30% larger than A3) including roll feed. There are also aftermarket bulk ink feed kits available from the US. Like all equipment there is a learning curve, but the printed results from these printers is excellent.
