Which photo printer should I buy?

I'm looking to buy a photo printer to print digital photos from my DSLR camera and digital art I create.
I want to say price isn't an issue, I just want the very best thing out there.
However I'm aware that often with gadgets like this the best thing out there isn't the newest item and may be a little cheaper.
I'm looking for something that can print flawless brilliant prints of my photos and artwork at the largest format.
Thanks.
John.

Look down the column for "maximum paper size" and you'll find only a few that go larger than 8陆x11.

Check out the webpagesx for Epson and Lexmark... they both make the best in quality injet printing.

The best method is not injet, but dye-sublimation. You will need to research on the web to find the best printer and price.

I have an Epson R2400. I love the printer. It has a 13" wide paper feed so I can do large prints. It is an 8 color printer so all the colors look better. The 2 downsides- it is $850 and the ink is harder to find(there is only one store in my area that sells the ink for this printer).

Epson pro 4800, is what i use, great prints, fast, input for sheet and roll film.
