1. I use Epsons

Is it for professional use?

I use one for work. Just did some research bc i print 13 x 19. I need good color on matte paper. Usually look at Photo stylus series. My 2200 is older, but a workhorse. Now discontinued.

Looked like a model 4000 (equivalent desktop) was 700$. Ink was 37$ a cartridge, but theres 10 inks. (I have 7). This may all sound high, depending on need. ?

Ive had my 2200 for 15 years and it ran 12 hours a day @ my employer BEFORE that. They upgraded so I got it.

I consider its life span and performance pretty great. Durability gets A+. People are sometimes confused that my printouts came from a desktop, the quality is so nice.

I think canon and epson have average # of printouts per ink set statistics, for each model ? (Based on photos with color that uses all ink in set). It's the only way i can get a sense of how much ink I may use in a month/year. & how long my cartridges will last.

A coworker just bought a canon to do same kind of work. She likes it. (We are working from home currently, so she wanted good results, but under 500$ printer)

I have no idea if this is any help.? What I do requires quite nice printouts, and a whole lot of them.
Good luck!
