This one is easy: the watercolor paper and maximum size, while staying on the 
desktop definately add up to the Stylus 3000. It prints sizes to 17 by 44 
inches, handles the archival inks better than smaller head printers and the 
slightly coarser dots are not significant on watercolro papers. The large ink 
tanks and better feed options, as well as the modest current cost for such a 
substantial unit make it a great deal for this type of use. Your only issues 
will be which ink, which paper, how to connect it to your computers, and 
which (if any) RIP to buy with it...
