Hi

It is time to treat myself to a new photo printer so I thought I would
ask here for recommendations.

Asked in three shops locally and the answers were
Canon PIXMA pro9000
Epson Stylus Photo R2880
HP Photosmart Pro B8190

Anyone got any better suggestions?

I know I can get an Ink Flow system for the Epson. But apart from that
it is hard to work out the pros and con's of the three above. I suppose
as a user of God's own Camera system (Nikon) a Canon printer is out of
the question :-)

Not necessarily, I have a 2 year old Canon i9900 which prints perfectly
acceptable 13 x 19 prints from my Nikon D70 & D300 files.

The Epson which the i9900 replaced remains an ink clogged anchor.

The 2880 uses the most recent of the Epson pigment ink systems and I
doubt that either of the others will be able to surpass it (or even
equal it). However you should look into the problems you will
encounter whan switching from colour to monochrome and vice versa.

An ancient model?

I will always stay with EPSON I have never had any problems. I am using the
EPSON NX-400 and the pics it prints are awesome . A 8x10 print takes 20
minutes to print
