how do you define best?
quality
epson vs canon? this cannot be compared anymore because both have dye and pigment inks.
dye ink has the highest quality. pigment has very high quality. most people can't tell the difference. but there is a very SMALL difference.
pigment ink does not fade in air. i used dye ink before... behind glass, ina photo album and inside a thick book the photo is good. but exposed to air... in a few weeks it is badly faded.
pigment ink cannot fade in air.
summary: buy PIGMENT based printer. any brand is good. this is because all A3 printers are quite good and fast. ooo ya and when you buy your continuous ink, make sure you buy PIGMENT inks.
note: if you buy a DYE ink printer and you put Pigment inside you will spoil it. please buy pigment based printer.

Not fade in air, but fade by the sunlight.
we call it light fastness.
Is true that the pigment have better light fastness than Dye. However, pigment will fade too, if expose to direct sunlight more than 12 hours or more.
Nope the dye ink will never spoil ( should be clog) the printhead. Because the particle size of dye is much more smaller than pigment. The chances of pigment clog the print head is higher than dye. especially third party pigment base ink, due to poor formulation or poor grinding efficiency.
The shell life of pigment again is poorer than dye, this is because of poor stability of pigment. Tends to sediment upon storage, due to heavy in size.
Is just my humble opinion, correct me if im wrong.
regards,
