I like my prints; to truly appreciate a photography it needs to be printed and sometimes quite big. I have a Epson large wide carriage, the 3880.
Most consumer printers have small ink cartridges and the cost of ink is high. The bigger printers have larger ink cartridges and work out a lot cheaper.
Still today I was doing some test prints and my printer ran out of five ink cartridges all at once. Its been an expensive day.
