• Q: Which is the better photo printer?
  I have been doing a little research and (I think) I have narrowed my printer search down to two. I am considering buying either the Canon Pixma Pro9000 or the Epson Stylus Photo R1900. I know the Epson uses pigment ink which is supposed to be better, but which of the two will give me the better final result? Note: I plan on printing both b&w and color.

  A:Epson, hands down..! Especially with the pigmented inks. I use a 7600 Epson, 24" wide format & roll printer. It has 3 years of semi heavy duty. It has nor skipped a beat or given me probs other than "pilot errors".. Some of my work has hung in a few galleries here in Tucson and much more in homes and a few businesses. Not a one has faded and still look as bright and crisp as the day they came off the printer. Plus Epson has some mighty fine papers compared to others. However, Kelly Papers have some mighty fine papers too, especially their 10 mil high gloss and the $$ are very fair. Google CIS - Continuous Inking Systems - and bulk inks dot com for refills and bulk inks as well... Go Epson, ya can't go wrong.. Bob - Tucson
• Q: Can anyone recommend a GOOD photo printer?
  I am looking at the Canon Pixma Pro9000, but I don't know what Epsom has in the same range. I would really like to get one that uses pigment based inks, but I don't have $1000 to spend on one. I would appreciate any advice/recommendations.

  A:I wanted one too and after looking at and studying it out, I settled on an HP Photosmart All-In-One. I've had it for 2 years now. It's excellent !! . Click on this: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=hp+photosmart+all+in+one&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title .
