[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 600373, member: 12542"] My story: I had an Epson 1280 until I IGNORED the "warning message of the ink pad" and was not quick enough to fish out the drain tube to a bottle for the waste ink. I was pleased with it and it served me well. I was going to replace it but I asked myself have I printed any large prints. The 1280 was used for posters at our church festival but I have not printed any in years. So as I was looking for replacement a year or so ago I got a deal (steal) with a Pixma 7220 plus I was able to buy Glossy paper from Canon buy 1 get 9 free. So I went from Epson to Canon. With any printer you must match the paper to the printer and got the colors to look like what was on my screen. If I wanted a good print I would always send to Mpix as I felt that was much better but that's my own opinion. Well I succumbed to large "printeritis" Midwest from Columbus sent me an email on Canon Printers and rebates before Christmas and I said "no" but like any addict I got another on on New Years and I pulled the trigger! So I have a Canon Pro-100. Too my amazement the stash of paper I had from Canon did not match any of their profile. Ugh!
