Epson Photo 870/1270/880/1280. There really is no other choice.

These printers are used by photographic professionals (instead of the old messy darkrooms) and for good reason: better resolution than most chemical-process photo papers.

Long life inks (10-70 years, depending on the paper), excellent driver software, and the newer models (listed above) are even quiet enough to share a room with.

I have the 1270, and absolutely love it (not that you could tell, eh?).

Cheers
