In my ever increasing desire to further my 'hobby'. I did a ton of research looking for a printer. I have no print shop remotely close to me and the 'photoshops' have no real options in paper. While yes, I am a Canon whore I did not limit my research to just their printers. However, as expected, I did settle on the Pixma Pro-10. It has the B&W capabilities that I wanted and excellent color output. Doesn't hurt that they also lured me in with $300 of fine art paper. Which has the feel of poster board and not photo paper....haha.
