Actually, it's just the opposite...the it's when you DON'T print that
the ink dries and plugs up the nozzles

If you make a LOT of prints the nozzles quite as likely to dry up.
I go to Costco for anything 12x18 ($3.99) or smaller & use a local
pro-lab for anything I want printed larger. Some Costco locations
can/will do a 12x36 panoramic print for $4.99.
That's what I originally created the "pano" of the snow geese at Bosque
for.
Let THEM worry about the profiles.

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.
