I currently have a Canon I950 photo printer that I'm very happy with the printout image quality, but it never really matches the monitor to where I'm extremely happy. I use Spyder3Print for printer calibration. My NEC monitor is calibrated and the image on it looks extremely close to what I see in the real world. The Canon I950 is a 6 color dye based ink printer. It is starting to give me some trouble and looks like it is time to find a replacement. So my question is what is the best printer out there for photography work that will match my monitor as close as possible using Spyder3Print for printer calibration? Thus I would like to print my targets, scan them in, and be as close as possible to the screen colors. I really don't want to spend months of printing and adding brightness and contrast to printer profiles as I have done that with the Canon I950 and I consumed a ton of ink and paper until I got it close. I don't want to spend more than $500 - 700 if possible. I only do 8X10s max. Thanks, Bob P.
