Michael Reichman, Editor, principal author and publisher of The Luminous Landscape has posted his updated report of the Canon iPF5000 pigment ink printer. He has been using the 17" printer for 6 months now and therefore has valuable experience to share.
He has used it for 11"x17" prints mostly and 13"X19" and also with 17"X22" sizes too.
Compared to the Epson 4800 he had no clogs, no bother to change inks and just as good prints sometimes even better. So he sold the Epson to save space!The newly unveiled and shipping Epson 3800, however, at least deals with the switching and wasting inks complaint and the price is right! The Epson 3800 should also be considered IMHO.
Michael is known to fall in love with his gear. I value his work enough to purchase his prints, (the subject of an upcoming review)!
When a fineart photographer puts his prints look in the hands of a paticular print machine, one has to pay attention. I like the idea that Canon as well as HP are begiinning to give us more choice of archival pigment printers and therefore we'll only expect even better printers from Epson!
