Thank you so much Peter!!! I am so glad you like it!
The printer I use is a Canon Pro9500 Mark II. It does a really great job. Since I made your print, I decided to finally create a wall of prints for myself and have been having much success with the prints, both color and b&w, at a bunch of different sizes. The Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl paper is just a dream. I love it!
The printer uses 10 pigment ink cartridges. I got it because it was the cheapest 13 x 19 printer I could find at the time. I got it for like 550.00 USD at BH Photo, which was about 200 off the original cost. Not sure how much it would go for in the UK. But with all the new prints Im doing, Im getting results that match what I see on the screen, only a bit darker. My screen is one of the bright technology kind of screens and every photo I look at electronically is really bright so I know the prints will come out a bit darker, but not too much darker. Im very happy with the printer and Im new at it. If you have lots of experience with printers and making prints, you could probably do so much more with this printer than I can.
