I'll be interested in hearing how you like the Canon compared to the
Epson and I'm envious of having a printer with a wider carriage. The
Epson P900 has the 17" carriage, but I couldn't justify the additional
cost. OTOH, even though it''s limited to printing 13" wide, the P700
will print banner size up to 550" long. Guess I'll have to shoot more
pano's. 🙂

I love my Epson 2880 I’ve made hundreds, perhaps thousands of 18 x 12 prints on
it over the 15 years I’ve owned it. It prints beautifully in color and BW, but
as others here have noted, Epson has stopped producing ink for it, and the
third party inks that are available are subpar. Prior to the 2880, I printed on
Epson 1200, Epson 2000 and Epson 2400. They were all quite good for their time
but none were as good as the 2880 and they didn’t last as long. ON the other
hand, my 2880 still prints like new.
I guess I’m disapointed in Epson’s decision to stop supporting this printer,
but I obviously got my money’s worth, so my negative feelings are subdued. But
I’m not going to buy another Eppson. The company has left me high and dry with
a printer that works but has no ink supply. Thus, I’m going to try a Canon. I
always wanted to print bigger than the 12 x 18s I turn out on the Epson, and
the Canon Prograf Pro-1100 prints up to 17 x 22 and has garnered rave reviews
for print quality. Fortunately, I’ve had a good business year (busy—that's why
I rarely post), so I ordered the Canon from Amazon where I get free shipping.
Amazon is also great at accepting returns, so there’s little risk. Looking
forward to printing some of my hundreds of thousands of photos on big paper!
