I am considering buying a photo quality printer. I'm a total novice in these matters so I need advice. Needless to say, I want best quality possible at the lower possible price. Any suggestions?The Epson 2200 (aka 2100 outside the US) is the best all-around photo quality inkjet printer at the moment. Street price in the US is $700. 13x19 borderless prints, UltraChrome pigment inks, special matte-black ink option. Just stunning.

The Epson 1280 (aka 1290) would be the second choice. Dye-ink instead of pigment, but excellent overall. The advantage of the 1280 over the previous 1270 model is that the 1280 can produce borderless prints.
Canon's new S9000 is also highly recommended, but I have no experience with it.
I'd avoid getting the narrow-carriage version of these printers, because once you see what their prints look like, you'll want to print big.
If I had the cash or a good enough excuse, I'd have the 2200 right now.
