[QUOTE="l_d_allan, post: 203383, member: 5680"] I haven't sold prints, so "consider the source". To me, a person buying a print should have an expectation of archival fade resistance, which I believe calls for pigment ink rather than dye ink. I have a Canon 9000-2 A3+ 13x19" dye printer, which I'm quite happy with for what I do. However, I wouldn't sell prints made from it, unless the buyer was ok with non-archival prints. In "the world of Canon" (I'm mostly ignorant about other printers), that would mean a used or NIB (new in box) Canon 9500-2 (don't own one, but have heard they are excellent, maybe with resetter), or the latest/greatest Pro-1 or Pro-10 (probably excellent, no resetters, maybe never?) Or a wide format, but that is a whole different beast, of which I have no experience or knowledge. An option to consider ... have prints that you sell made by Costco. If you know what you are doing with DryCreek printer profiles, you can get very good to excellent prints with archival quality. Also, you'll avoid the learning curve of printing (unless you've already got plenty of printer experience / expertise). [/QUOTE]
