I need advise on large format printers


I shooat with Canon 20D and have so far been limited to printing 8.5 X 11 photos for framing. I am interested in displaying a larger format and am looking at 3 printers. Epson R24 at $849 prints 13 wide; HP Designjet at $995 prints 18" wide; and Canon i9900 at $499 prints 13 x 19. I know each uses different inks and have +'s and -,s and I could use some advise if any of you have had experience with any of these three. I will be framing the prints for display, gallary, gifts and sell. I appreciate your input.

  I have the Canon i9900. It is a nice printer and functions great with no problems. I use it for prints for this and that but the prints that I sell I get through a printer. I don't believe that even with this printer the prints come out professional enough and plus the cost of ink and time that it takes to print each print is just not worth it. I like dealing with the online printers for my work they also can mail directly to the client. It works out great.

  Also check out the new Epson Stylus Photo R1800 for $549. Prints up to 13" wide. I just got it 2 weeks ago and I'm very very satisfied.
Regards,
Thomas
