Hi, i bought an Epson 7610 inkjet to print some flayers and other ads... I bought also couche paper but with duplex printing the 2 side of the paper become smudge...

Whats the best paper to print ads? I want that profissional effect... Can i do that with this print with the right paper?

Whats the number of max daily/monthly prints is advised to do with this print? Can i damage the printer if i print 1000/3000 copies? Thanks

And that statement, by itself, means absolutely nothing.

Yes, a high end inkjet can be better than a high end color laser.
However.....a good quality color laser can rival a good quality inkjet.

I have one of each...a good quality Dell laser, and a good quality HP inkjet.
The Dell is better at some things, the Epson better at others.

1,000-3,000 copies? You're doing this once? Or this every month?
Good laser printers can be very, very good. Especially for stuff like flyers. And for significantly less cost vs an inkjet.

To print your theoretical 3,000 pages, you will go through several sets of ink carts.

At that print volume, either a color laser, or contract with a printing service.
An inkjet will kill you buying new carts.

I have tried various 'compatible' inkjet carts across several inkjet printer brands.
None match up to the quality of the original ones. In my experience, anyway.

You could try it, though. It's your money.
