Rob,

I'm interested to hear you recommend the Canon.
I admit I shied away a long time from Canon stubbornly thinking that only
Epson could mean color in this business.

Just wait 'till the day you do it. They're a breeze in comparison. And their
inkset is just as saturated and better hue angled as compared to real world
offset inks.

This is absolute nonsense. Under the Color Correction menu in my i960 RGB
print driver, you have the options of a) None, b) BJ Standard and c)
ColorSync. "None" is the option you want to use for custom profiling. Can it
be simpler than that?

and so this makes them very hard to profile accurately.
I have clients who achieve very acurate RGB profiles of their Canon
printers, out of the box, with the help of packages like ProfileMakerPro v4+
and others. As a matter of fact, as long as these people stuck to their
2200, they could never achieve the same level of color control and quality,
ever, even after spoiling sheets after sheets of paper, cartridges after
cartridges of inks. Call me incapable or technically ignorant but, to date,
I personally have yet to discover the secrets of RGB profiling an Epson
2200, either under OS9, OSX or Windows -- no amount of custom profiling on
my part (spectral mode vs regular Lab values) will give me the quality I can
get straight out of Canons.

Like I said. It could not be easier: these printers don't have a color
agenda of their own.
