I enjoy printing and print mainly for personal use with occasional print sales. Unfortunately, ink is no longer available for my trusty Epson 2200 and have an opportunity to purchase a new printer. I’m looking at the Canon PROGRAF PRO-300 and Epson SureColor P700. I wish that I could afford the larger models for printing backgrounds for hummingbird photography, but cannot justify the extra cost for printer and ink cartridges. What are you opinions on these 2 models of printers? How do you like the colors produced by these printers? I have never used Canon printers and wonder about how durable they are. My guess is that the print colors are excellent when set up correctly. Thank you for your help…Jim
