i cant speak of a3 printers as ive not used a3, but with a4. i used eposns for a great many years at times doing quite large volumes of printing (for an inkjet) then about 2 years ago a friend convinced me to try a canon and there was no looking back. i bought a mid range canon all in one and have found it to be much quieter in operation, at least twice the print speed of the epsons i used to use and much better build quality. now im not saying epsons arnt upto it, but the canon has proven to be bulletproof. my current all in one has printed several thousand pages, probably approaching five thousand and still works like a new printer.
as for inks, i use compatibles and pay a fraction of the canon ink prices. i have used ciss (continuous bulk ink) in the past on several printers and found them to be tempromental at best. my last epson printer came bundled with a ciss from 3000rpm.com and it flooded and killed the printer. thankfully they sorted me out with a full refund, thats when i moved to canon.. so its a real case of buyer beware with an ciss
hadnt thought about hp and the new print heads as i use my printer regularly but its a very good point, one which ill be suggesting to my mother as her printer never worked right as she never used it often enough
