Initial Printer Research

Looks like there are three 13x19 large format printers on the market.

1. Epson - Stylus Photo R1800
   
2. Canon - Pixma Pro9000 - $449.99 at newegg.
   
3. HP - Photosmart 8750
   

The canon is the fastest and seems to be the most liked. The Epson has a cool CD/DVD print option for printing directly on Discs that are coated for printing. The HP and Epson seem to be better for B&W printing.
