Epson by far is the best photo printer on the market I have the Epson stylus photo2200. Their ink is the highest quality best ink on the market. It has a life time of 100's of years. I have Epson photo's printed on super B size paper 13x19 that have been hanging on my wall in my office in the sunlight for over 3 years that have not degraded in anyway right besides photo's that I printed on my HP which are now yellow. Only drawback with the epson is you really need to use the epson photo paper.
