Yes, That's what I'm looking for,
I have done a search on this board and the overwealming response was for the Epson Stlus photo 2200, but that costs 700$
any other suggestions or comments are appreciated
Thanks,
J

The 1280 does fairly large photos too, right?

I'm pretty happy with my Canon i9900 I just bought. Good photo prints (I dunno about text, I have a different printer for that) and extremely fast. Ink usage appears to be extremely low, too. Plus it is ~$200 cheaper then the Epson 2200 which is a much older model.

The epson r800 is a smaller version of the 2200. I would look into that and it is resonably priced at around $400 or so.

I've had a Canon i9900 for about a week now, and have been very happy with the photo quality and speed. Its a big step up from the HP Photosmart 7550 that used to be my main printer.

For the Canon i9900 owners - how are the OS X drivers? Reasonably complete?

The OS X drivers are great. The printer integrates well with iPhoto too.
Unlike my HP, there is no long pause before printing starts.

the Cannon 19900 looks like the best buy, and it is recent correct?
where as the Epsons are probably due for an update,
Big price difference too,

When looking at large format printers, I considered reputation and quality only. Speed and price were of less importance. For years, the Epson 1280 was a the top of everyone's list. I, therefore, chose the Epson 2200. It's perfect.
