anyone seen the output from these 12 ink printers?  they sound intriguing

"surpasses just about every other fine-art inkjet printer yet available, in terms of both image quality and convenience of features"

"The other area where the Canon surpasses the Epson is in grayscale range"

"the Epson 4800 measured a Dmax of 2.22. The Canon measured 2.5, the highest reading I've ever seen"

especially this bit:
"In many ways this driver works more like a RIP than a printer driver. It bypasses not only Photoshop's printer dialogs but also the operating system's"
