No printer I've ever heard of has a color gamut as large as ProPhoto RGB.
The Epson R2400/R3800/R4800 pigment ink printers are as state of the art on ink and gamut as anything in the industry today is. This is a marketing document on the K3 inkset: <http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/Landing/UltraChromeK3.jsp? BV_UseBVCookie=yes> HP's latest B8190 printer is supposed to be the first competitor to the Epsons on gamut. However, HP software is terrible and three people I know who bought one based on the promise ended up returning it for software problems and poor support from HP. They've all bought Epson R3800s and are very happy with them. I print with an R2400 and plan to upgrade to the R3800 sometime in the coming year. I have not yet experienced any trouble on gamut or tonalities.
