A Canon Pro-10, a great entry-level printer (and really cheap right now) I get 100 or more deal notices each month, and almost never pass one on, but this is worth it… For those who have been following the printing series, Hunts Photo and Video in Massachusetts has an excellent opportunity to get into serious photo printing.
