I'm new to ink jet photo printers, and was all set to order a new Epson 3000, or even a 3880, before the October rebates expire. Still just a bit unsure of just how much I want to get into making my own prints, though.
Then I stumbled on this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...0_Mark_II.html, which shows what was, until recently, Canon's top 'enthusiast' pigment ink 13" printer. Cost after instant & mail-in rebates is only $200 - and you get a 50 sheet box of 13x19 paper gratis.
Wondering if this might be the smart move to 'get my feet wet'. On the other hand, I'm pretty fussy about print quality. Used to do all my own BW & type C, had a 10x10 Durst and big JOBO. I want really good prints. The 3000's and 3080's reputations are pretty solid, as are 99% of their customer reviews. Will I be happy with the 9500 - at least for a year or so - or would buying one be a false economy and end up a waste of time & effort? Your thoughts?
