Hi Nick, I have three recommendations for you: 1 - 1160 with Lyson Fotonic ink 2 - 1160 with Lyson Fotonic ink 3 - 1160 with Lyson Fotonic ink In my opinion (and others too) this is an almost unbeatable combination. Fantastic gamut, reasonable longevity and highly profileable. In short, the prints are stunning. I have recently entered the realms of wide-format printing too with an Epson 9600. Neil Barstow spent three days with me last week profiling it (and it took some doing!). However, the results from the 9600 are also simply stunning but could not have been achieved without Epson's Grey Balancer utility. I would therefore also recommend the 2100 as I assume it behaves in a similar way to its bigger brothers. The Ultrachrome inks are awesome, especially as they have the increased longevity over, say, Fotonics. However, be prepared for some serious effort with the grey balancer (and you need to know what you are doing!) before having a profile built... Best of luck.
