Cindy,
If I have a problem finding specifications or getting information on equipment I am looking at to possibly buy, I phone Adorama or B&H and ask to speak to someone in the appropriate department. I have always found them to be knowledgable on their products.

PIXMA PRO-100 by Canon will do what you need.
Rebates get it down to $350...but I picked mine up on sale for $100.

I have a PIXMA PRO-100 and I love it, but I have the space.

Hunt's camera has some Canon Pro 10 printer with a good rebate. The printer is no longer in production, but it is an excellent printer. I have used mine for many years. Check it out. https://www.huntsphotoandvideo.com
The OP stated that he has looked at this printer but deemed it was too large for his workspace.

Have you done a head cleaning? run the head cleaning utility and then do a test print and repeat several times until the test is successful

I have the PIXMA 100 for my photography photos, but also a Canon PIXMA TS6220. It is 14"
X 20" and weighs almost nothing. It costs $169 on Amazon right now, we paid less when on sale. It is a good little printer/scanner. The prints are clear, not what I would use for my good photos, but more than enough I think for what you want them for. Good luck.

I am also needing a new printer and am looking at the BenQ SW2700pt. Don't know your price point, but this one is about $600. Wish it would go on sale.

If you are going to print up to 5 by 7s or if you are going to only print 8 by 10s, I would look for a dye sub printer. They are a little more expensive but, and it's a big but for me; you can print once a month without wasting ink cleaning the print head. My DNP sits in the closet for months on end; but when I need prints, it is ready to go.

Hello Cindy;
Just curious, Why do you want to go from Epson to Canon? I have always thought that Epson is a top of the Line Printer. Of course so is Canon. I Have a HP Office-jet Pro 8610, which presently will not Print from my Laptop, so, as I am not a Technical guy, I either need to find someone that can assist me getting my Wireless Printing working once again, I have had 2 friends make attempts, with NO success.

Thank You everyone for some extremely useful advice.
Just to clarify. I do a lot of Macro-photography of spiders and I catalogue my finds in my reference system for future identification and educational purposes so I am printing often and I want clear precise pics that I can use later.
Certainly and I will emphasise that monitor calibration is critical as is alignments and cleaning etc. Unfortunately I think that my trusty Artisan just got an extreme case of arachnophobia and gave up the fight.
Thank you again.
