I'm looking for a high-quality ink jet printer for printing photos that will print larger than 8.5" x 11", perhaps up to 11"x14" or even 14" x 18". Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

There are many available of varying quality and price:

Best large format printers at a glance
  • HP DesignJet T230.
  • HP DesignJet T650.
  • HP Designjet Z9+ PS 44"
  • Epson SureColor P20000.
  • Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000.
  • Epson SureColor SC-P600.
  • Canon imagePROGRAF TM300.
  • Oki C844dnw.
The above are what I found doing a search. Note... some of those cost upward of $1000.00 or more. Not sure what your budget is but large format color inkjet or laser printers are mostly designed for business use and usually are expensive.

Thanks so much for this list. I really appreciate it. I knew they'd be on the expensive side, but this will be for business use. I'll start looking at these carefully now. Again, your help is much appreciated.

I've been using a Canon Pro 10S for several years and have found the results excellent. It prints up to A3+ (13' x 19"). It has 10 ink cartridges and I've found that if I print something every 48 hours or so the ink lasts longer, as it won't activate a cleaning cycle.

Randy,
thanks so much for these links. Somehow I missed your message referring to this printer. If this really produces the quality it says, that's an amazing price for a large-format, ink jet printer.
