How long have you had it? Have you had any trouble with overspray? Do you use borderless printing?

Thanks, I might could live with a small border on the print if it will eliminate the problem with overspray. Say making a 12.5"x18.5" print.

Hmm, 80ml cartridges is a plus. Thank you. It is looking attractive at the moment. I do like Canon products and have little or no experience with Epson that I recall.

Thank you, this is similar to some of the complaints I have heard from other 8550 owners. Why have borderless printing if you really can't use it? This is helpful as I really only considered the 8550 because of the tank feature.

I see what you are saying about the cost of ink for the P-700 vs the P-900. With ink for the P-900 almost just half as much as ink for the P-700. I wonder what the deal with that is?
That is something to consider. Do you have experience with the P-900?

Thanks.

Trimming would seem to be the wise a prudent thing to do. Thanks for your input.

A cartridge type isn't out of the question. The ink compared to pigment is still cheaper. I liked my Pro-100 but it seemed like everytime I turned around I was having to order ink.

Thanks, that is one to consider but according to Canon it uses dye based ink. I would like to get away from cartridges if I go with dye base.

Thanks, I will check it out.

Thank you.

Maybe so, as well as not to place in a well lit area such as direct sun etc. My thinking too.

Ok Hoggers, I'm not a pro but I have sold a few prints. I'm currently without a large format printer and would like to get a new one. I would like one that will print up to 13"x19". Of course larger would be ok too depending on operating cost. The last large format printer I had was the Pixma Pro 100. I don't really want to go back to a cartridge type and would rather go with a tank type ink system. I have been looking at the Epson 8550 and it interest me but I have heard a few mention having trouble with it. Do any of you have experience with it?
I'm not a cheapskate but I'm not loaded either so I would like to keep the cost around a thousand bucks or so.
I have looked at pigment type and dye type and while I would rather go with pigment I don't believe the cost of ink for a pigment printer is practical for me. If someone can educate me more on that I would appreciate it. In fairness to any prospective buyer I do think about the longevity of pigment vs dye.
This printer would be dedicated for photo printing alone as I have printers for other printing needs.
I know it is ultimately my decision but I would greatly appreciate any helpful input.

I have no problem buying used. I just bought a D850, 200-500, 24-70 2.8, and a 70-200 2.8 all in excellent condition. The lenses were less than half what they would have been new.

Thank you. This will be a new computer. I'm weighing whether to opt for 10 or 11. I should have made myself more clear.
