I finally got some 13 X 19 paper for my Canon iP 8720 and all I can say is WOW !!! If you have always wanted to try that size paper go for it.

Sometimes bigger is better! If you want even more fun go to Red River and order their sample pack. Results can be outstanding. I especially like their metallic paper.
You'll probably say the same thing when you have to keep feeding it ink.
But, I should talk. I print 16 x 20.
I regularly print on 13 x 19, glossy or canvas, with very good results. Paper from Red River and printer is Epson Artisan 1430. I'm glad you have found a way to make larger prints of your images. Good luck!!
I have a HP printer and have printed 13 by 19 many times . I have found out when printing a 13 by 19 that Epson Premium Photo Paper GLOSSY looks a lot better than HP Premium Plus Photo Paper Gloss . All other smaller sizes look nice as long as I use the 300 g/m2 Premium Plus Photo Paper , 280 g/m2 comes out dull . I have tried the Red River , but have stayed with HP and Epson and am satisfied

Yes, I like printing large. That's a good price for that printer. I use my Canon Pro-100 for the big ones.

WOW is a very good description for large printings. Oh Shit is another. WOW sets off well made photographs, just as Oh Shit describes those with flaws. 6x9s don't allow flaws to show too badly, but blow up that mistake to a 13x19 and watch it get huge.
Those 13X19 "WOW" prints deserve to be framed - now try to find ready made frames in that size. My best source is a hobby store called Michaels, and wait until they have their 2 for 1 sales. Go larger and you'll need custom matting and 18X24 frames.
I custom order 17 x 22 inch frames from FrameUSA, and am very happy with the results. I shoot mostly motorsports (motocross racing), and like to print 17 x 22 (after printing 13 x 17 for a couple of years). Currently using a Canon Pro 1000 printer. The results, according to all the recipients of the works are outstanding! I am very fond of photo lustre paper (use Epson).
For a full range of papers go to redriverpaper.com. They have numerous papers in all sorts of sizes including roll paper. They have ICC profiles and guides for all their paper.
