I am trying to decide between the Canon ipf 6400 v. ipf 6450. I do not print a lot of photos, but I do enter contests and want very high quality output.
As I read the blogs, it sounds like most of the advantage of the 6450 is for high output shops, not for avid photographers who seldom print more than a few photos per week. I am completely unfamiliar with the spectrograph, and do not know if it is truly useful for my work. Except for skin, I really am not a fanatic about precise color replication. (I want to be close on color, but it is not as if I am printing for clients who pull out color meters).
Affordability is not a big issue. I want a printer that just works when needed. I do not want a lot of extra things to break and extra information to learn IF the output will be no better.
I'd appreciate any experience that you had making this decision.
Thanks,
Jimmy
