Rob, I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 (The original) and I love it---Color is accurate, printing is crystal clear---. But.......Beware,it takes up a pretty good chunk of table space, the printer ink is expensive and the13x19 paper isn't cheap. If you were going to go this route, I would suggest using your older printer for daily business,smaller prints and test runs for larger prints. But, once you figure out how to save ink and paperThe 9500 is hard to beat. There is also a large format Epson that is competitive with the 9500 so don't forget to look at that one as well.I do know that the Epson will take roll paper which would be very nice for large panoramas. TheCanon only acceptssingle sheet paper up to 13x19.


Hope this helps, perhaps some of theother forum members can provide more info.


Good luck,


Bob
