related to your answers it would be better to ...
Not meaning to be nosy, but with only 7 posts so far on LuLa and very little in your profile, you're even more of a forum newbie than me. I took a brief look at your website and several previous posts. I don't want to be over-estimate or under-estimate your experience and expertise level.
Also, I think I may have incorrectly assumed you were interested in repro of fine-art rather than printing your own images. Or not?
Perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing answers to questions such as:
* How you have been getting prints done so far?
** If by others, why do your own printing?
* How long you have been doing fine-art-printing?
* Self-appraisal of your experience and expertise with ...
** printing, color-management, photography in general, repro, etc.
* Current equipment, such as camera(s), lenses, printer(s), lighting, software, etc.
** Your website implied you have medium format equipment? Digital?
** From previous LuLa posts ... you have Canon 5d2 and some very nice L lenses?
** You're considering an Epson 3880?
** 400 to 600+ 8x8" mostly b/w prints a year?
* General, brief description of your workflow
** a previous post mentioned "fineart printing for photographers" ... Uwe Steinmueller
* Rough idea of your budget for hardware/software
* If you want to do this professionally,
** prints for yourself?
** to sell your prints to others?
** how high your customer expectations are?
** to print other people's images for them to sell?
** Your competition's quality and pricing
** part-time or full-time expectation
** make enough to write-off your expensive toys,
** or enough to have a profitable endeavor
