I switched from canon to kodak after the canon ceased to print just after the warrenty expired. Ink costs were the driving factor. I've had many different photo-quality printers, the worst of which was a lexmark. (put back in the box it came in after a month, no one even wants it for free.)

For a inkjet, this kodak is so fast for draft copy, it'll startle you! Cost per page about1/2 to 1/3 of any other brand I've used. I print photo-art on all kinds of materials, canvas, cardstock, textured papers, magnet sheets and all brands, kinds and finishes of photo paper.  The blacks are deeper than most...
