I did a search and could not satisfy my query. I want to know peoples opinion on at home stand alone photographic printers. I'm not biased on any brand in any way I'm starting at the ground floor. I don't want to spend 10K on one either though. Maybe just a couple of K if it's the right printer. I'd like to be able to print on canvas and other fine art stock in at least 2 feet or so in height.(if you imagine panorama orientation.) Any advise or experience would be greatly appreciated. Also I'd prefer if it wasn't an ink hog regularly self cleaning it's heads and wasting ink, nor constantly clogging. Am I dreaming in HDR? Not the gaudy Mars landscape, Trey Ratcliff HDR, maybe just Peter Lik level of HDR. Anywho I digress, any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I love my Epson R2000 for color prints. It's about the best quality "pro-sumer" printer out there. Keep an eye on sales, they often drop the price and then offer rebates. I ended up paying only ~$350 for my copy. If you're more interested in B&W prints, I would consider the R3000 instead. However, the cost of ink is considerably higher than the R2000.
