I'm going to retire my Epson 4000 printer and the two new printers I'm considering are the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 and the Canon iPF5100.
After reading about the two printers on many printer forums and printer reviews I'm leaning towards the iPF5100. One bit of information I need is the maximum print length from the Canon printer. I print high resolution panoramas. Printing with the Canon driver through Photoshop CS4, what is the maximum print length of the iPF5100?
My 4000 using the Epson driver had a maximum length 0f 44". I believe the 4800 is the same unless I purchased (which I really don't want to do) a third part RIP like imageprint. I would love to print longer panos longer than 44" without purchasing a RIP. I'm on a Mac using Leopard 10.5.7.
One other thing, I still have about $400.00 in inventory of Epson Paper. Are their services that can create custom paper profiles for my Epson paper to use with the Canon printer?
Thanks so much in advance
John
