When I was researching the i9100 I started with-

and ended up ordering one.
We like this printer a lot. We get the best results using
Canon's inks with Canon's paper, though. Our cost per 8x10
print using Canon's inks and paper hover around $2.50.

ACK!!

Even if you don't want to refill your cartridges for some reason, you
might consider getting some less expensive paper, like Office Depot
Premium Gloss, which is comparable to Canon. I haven't seen the results,
but I've read good things about RedRiver Polar Gloss too.

Either will easily cut your paper costs in half.

Tell me something Ben - how many prints larger than 8.5 x 11 do you plan on
making with your new large format printer? I lusted for a large format
printer for a couple of years, but when it came down to it, I just couldn't
justify the extra cost by the number of large prints I would need - that
couldn't be printed somewhere else.

Hi, Gary,

Our company offers custom, framed photos to veterans. We use their original
photo to create the photo for use in the frame. Our framed work is built
around an 8x10 size but I wanted the ability to offer larger sizes at some
point in the future. That was my sole purpose in wanting larger sizes
available.
This printer allows us to keep the original photos in-house and not risk
taking them to an outside shop.

If I were looking for a printer for personal use I would likely have gone
with the Canon i950. Like you, If I needed something larger for my personal
use I would just take it to a shop, it would happen so rarely.

Well, I would think you would want a pigment-based printer for clients, so
they won't fade after a couple of years. I don't really like the
metamerization effect they give, but if longevity is important...
