Ann, I have no reviews, and I'm virtually never one to stand between someone and spending their money on a new toy but, frankly, I'm not sold on the economics of purchasing large format printers. Unless something has changed recently, inkjet printers are a Royal Pain the Ass. Of course, it depends upon the number of prints that one realistically needs to make, but if you factor in: a) the original cost of the printer b) the cost of the consumables (paper and inks) Divide that by the number of prints you expect to produce in a couple of years to get a per print price.
I may be wrong, but I'm betting that it is a higher per print price than you can get commercially. Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I've read you will be dealing with plugged inkjet nozzles, lots of ink wasted on nozzle purges (instead of making prints). Prints thrown in the trash because of said plugged nozzles. And perhaps worst of all, no one to yell at but yourself. That is ignoring the fact that your time is worth something and the time you spend producing the prints is time you could be doing something else. If someone has an alternative view of wide format inkjet economics, I'm all ears.
