I tried the money saving route last time and the printer died a year later. I would like to spend a little more and hope that I get something that is going to last. I would like to spend no more than $500 on a new photo printer.

I'll take this tip! My printer is a turd! Thanks Karl!
No problem. Bang for your bock let me tell ya!
The Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II is supposed to be better for color printing and uses dye based inks and the Pixma Pro 9500 Mark II uses pigment based inks which has better blacks/greys for black and white printing. It has 2 extra blacks compared to the 9000. (also, from what i understand if you do not print regularly w/pigment based ink printers, the print head has a tendency to clog up). Theres also a considerable price increase for the 9500 Mark II. I believe they are going for around $700.

Mine is ordered $253 with shipping included in the price. I needed a better printer so bad! I have this Kodak ESP 7 that I paid nearly $200 about 1.5 years ago. This thing has been a head ache since day one. It is so loud! No joke it sounds like the old school printers from the 80's! ha ha ha

I use EPSON printers and have been very pleased with my results. Currently I have a STYLUS PHOTO 1400 and STYLUS PHOTO 1280 and both print up to 13 x 19 prints. The 1400 is so quiet that I use it at night when my wife is asleep across the hall with the doorways open- no problem. The 1400 cost $249 at microcenter.
Love Epson printers mines a workhorse the px700w it only does up to A4 but anything bigger I put out to my print partner and there quality is amazing, Loxley colour they are in Scotland and provide an amazing service.

Karl thanks for the tip! Mine just got here yesterday. Only thing I need to get is some photo paper and 9' High Speed USB wire!
It has amazing prints.
I usually print out of Lightroom (Lightroom has more/better colors than photoshop...don't ask......), and print on Perceptual for colors. Seems the most accurate. Cheers.

I have (which is a couple years old) a Epson Photostylus 1280. It's a wide format printer. I love it. I think I spent around $500. When this printer dies, I would buy it's upgrade.
