Canon 10D!

Well...? thought a couple of you wanted to see some of the results from the new camera?
I can tell you this, I made an enlargement to 24x36 and printed out an 8x10 test section. All I can say is, I can do poster sized pic's that are as good up close as far away and with an initial frame size that is 62.5% of a 35mm. And we all know that it usually was a stretch to get 24x36 and larger from 35mm format. I'll post the pic tonight. All I can say is wow!

What kind of printer do you use Chesty? What do you think of it? I'm thinking of H-P. Seems that Epsons are always on the slow side. Talking about 11x17 printers of course.
I use the Epson 2200 with custom profiles. I would use the Canon S9000 as well. The only drawback to the Canon is it only does Canons photo paper pro and it is only glossy. I haven't heard of any other papers available for it yet.
The epson is slow, but you can always print at 1440 instead of 2880 dpi. Depending on your requirements. Plus it has seven inks.
Photo black (for the satin, glossy papers)
matte black (for the archival matte, water color papers)
Magenta
Light Magenta
Cyan
Light Cyan
Yellow.
Go with the epson 2200, stay away from the HP's.
My Canon is the 10D (that is the full model name and number)

Are you sure? HP s are faster and the quality is fantastic from some oftheir models. I'm on my third Epson, they are over rated in my opinion.
I have had hp's, canons and epsons. and by far the epsons and canons are truly professional printers for photography. What kind of epsons have you been using?
I have the epson 7000 and the 2200 and canon S820. All three are superb.
I"ll take the slow and quality over the faster less quality!

This one is the 825. Quality is great but the color ink cartridges do not last at all. I'm talking maybe 20 prints. Absolutley horrible....a ripoff. Generic inks don't give the quality I need.
I've seen HP 1700 prints....really excellent.
Yep, those are the low grade printers. My 2200 uses the ultrachrome archival inks. Rated to last something like 80 plus years on epson papers and equivalents.
If you are planning on producing saleable prints then you def. need the 2200. I would like to have the epson 9600 (36in wide printer by as long as you want, but the price is too high for me right now) I have the 7000 and I am gonna see if the ink cartridges from the 9600 fit (those are the ultrachrome inks) I will then have the same archival ink (just won't have the light black color. This is the seventh color. I will just have the basic six) But, if it fits, I won't really need to upgrade for quite some time, especially with have the printer profiled for the papers I use.
Anyway, spend the 650 dollars and get the epson 2200. You won't be disappointed at all.
