I have HP Deskjet 9800 and couldn't be happier. No clogging as I had 
constantly with Epsons. The output is great, though the carts are too 
small for a 13x19" printer and they are costly. But when I found out 
that this printer can print BO prints too, and they are not bad at all, 
I have mostly printed BO. There's my show going on a local gallery, and 
I've sold already some prints and the people's comments are positive, so 
I think the output can't be all crap. The dot size is little bit bigger 
than on my Epson C64, when printing BO, but the Epson OEM black ink is 
much warmer than HP black. Also the HP black is pigment ink. I've been 
printing on Epson Radiant White Watercolor paper and I like the prints 
even more than prints printed on Prem. plus with the gray cart. And it's 
much cheaper.
