I am coming to the conclusion that the best printer for anyone has a range of qualifications. One how much do you print. which has a lot to do with clogging heads. Another factor is money how much ink does the printer go through when not used. Do you have a ton of money ? I simply watched money go down the drain when I owned an epson. During football season I am on the road every weekend and do not print much. Epsons are famous for clogging a bit when not used much. Absolute image quality according to Michael right now is the Epson 7900 . I do not doubt him for a second. On the other hand it seems like this epson like the earlier models go through a bit of ink. How much sheet paper do you use that would be a big edge to either the epson or the canon over the hp . Does absolute archival quality mean a lot to you that would give the edge to the HP. I have not used canon printers so cannot say much about them. David
