[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 216020, member: 9521"] You know, maybe they have? All my knowledge about the two systems dates back at least a year so it's entirely possible they've addressed the spill/priming issue. Both these printers will do an excellent job so I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Printing your own work is really the way to go. Very subtle changes can produce large differences in the final product. Even something as simple as the choice of paper (and there are a LOT of different papers, btw) can make a big difference. That said, printing can be as challenging as taking the actual photo, as I'm sure you'll soon discover for yourself. On a more philosophical note, it surprises me how so many photographers will spend oodles time and effort (and money) getting that perfect shot followed by hours on the computer to then let someone else take control of the most important part - making the print that everyone will see. And I don't know about you but I'm way too much a control freak to let someone else do my printing. :D [/QUOTE]
