The R800 uses the same inkset as the R1800, which is particularly
good for glossy color prints due to the 'gloss optimizer'. It doesn't
have the quadtone inks as part of its inkset and doesn't take the
Photo Matte ink. On the other hand, the R800 will print on
appropriate CD and DVD media for labeling.
If you want the best B&W printing, you need the Epson Ultrachrome K3
inkset. That's only available on the R2400, R4800 and beyond at this
point in time.

If you're content with nothing wider than 8.3 inches, consider the
R800. Generally less than 400USD, UltraChrome inks give great
reproduction and longevity.

Hummm. Wonder if i should try an Epson printer. The Canon's,as far
as i can see, don't
have colour
management in detail as the Epsons. Plus the added benifit of
proper B&W inks.
Any suggestions, models to start looking. Keep in mind i would
sell a lot from the
printer, so a
good dpi would be nice and ability to do a nice B&W.
