"Best" medium price inkjet for phtotographer?

I know this topic is a bit subjective, but I would appreciate a few
expert opinions on what inkjet printers in the $300-500 category offer
the "best" balance of print quality, longevity and running cost.

I am an amatuer photogrpaher who wants to sell 5x7 prints to the
general public.

Thank you for your reply.

If you really only want up to 8 inches wide, you should look at the C84 from
Epson. The C84 uses their newer dura-brite pigment inks. Or you could look at
the 2200 (I think), which also uses their pigment inks. Or you could buy one
of the dye based printers, and use pigment inks from a third party. I have
been using Generations inks from http://www.mediastreet.com for several years
with my 1520. And I recently started to use their newest Generations pigment
ink in my Epson pro9500 with great success.

Seen the HP7150 PhotoPrinter for as low as $149 At Office Works pretty good
deal

Check out the Canon i950. it retails for $250 or so but you will like it.
Also check the Epson 960.

I asked a similar question a few days ago in regards to longevity of
inks you can find that thread he

http://makeashorterlink.com/?K32762106

Essentially you are looking around 30-40 years for Canon i950 and 80-90
years for the Epson 2100(2200), both using recommended own brand inks
and papers.

In the end I choose the i950 due to cost and the fact I don't need A3 at
the moment. Plus the prints will last long enough for me.
