I would be interested in opinions concerning the best overall printer for photography and why.

I thought the Epson V600 is a scanner and not a printer!

Epson makes a few models that are probably about the best, but they do cost around 50 grand a piece, I think you probably are not interested in those!

The best photo printers are manufactured by Canon. They are very large and very expensive and are not something you'd find in anyone's home. For home use the Canon Pixma Pro 100 has been designated the number one consumer/pro grade printer. I guess it really boils down to what the user likes and what kind of printing they do. For 8.5X11 and smaller black and white prints, the Canon TS9000 series printers are second to none. The Pixma Pro 10 and Pro 1 are capable of exceptionally amazing color and black and white prints but are limited to 13X19 prints. Epson, HP and several other companies make really good printers but most use technology that was developed by Canon. My top two printer manufacturers are Canon and Epson. I currently own only Canon printers.

I wonder if he didn't like the type of answers. When I read his first post I wondered if he meant a physical print machine such as a Canon Pro 100, HP, Epson and so on, rather than a commercial printer such as Costco, Walmart, or a custom print company. Now I have no idea which he meant. Nor do I have any idea why he would have two identical posts. I guess he would have to explain this to us.

Best for what:

Purpose?
Volume?
Budget?
Substrates?
Color gamut?
Permanence?
Speed/immediacy?

In other words, what’s your objective?
