I'm fairly new to this site, and I was looking for others opinions in regards to my next printer purchase. I currently own a Canon S9000 and after seeing some prints from more modern printers, I think i'm ready to retire the good old S9k.
I'm looking to spend under $500 for a new printer, and 13x19 prints are DEFINITELY not a priority for me. They were back in 2003 when I bought the printer but not anymore. I take care of my large format needs elsewhere now... but I can't seem to find a Fuji Frontier that's open late at night when I usually need prints made!
I would love to get a printer that could produce prints equal to or better than what I get off the Fuji Frontier from my local lab. Is a printer such as an Epson R800 required for prints of this caliber? What other option(s) do I have in my sub-$500 price range? Again, 13x19 prints are not a requirement.
Thanks!
