Years ago when I bought my HP Designjet 800PS, these folks were very helpful:

They also have a number of other sites, one of which covers fine art printers (check at the bottom of their pages for a list of all their sites):

They have a review of the Epson 3800 and comparison with Canon iPF5000 and HP models here:

After seeing and purchasing a reworked photo reproduced on canvas in New Orleans recently, I've become interested in creating similar art. I've experimented with shots I recently took there and already have had inquiries from some people wanting to purchase some of them.
I've read some articles in After Capture mag about working with Painter in conjunction with photos and want to learn more about this type of photo art.
I've located a number of shops that do photos to canvas but am wondering about purchasing a printer, if I continue to work at it.
Here's the photo I purchased:
I wasn't crazy about the purple sky but the detail and light in the buildings area along with the people and carriage is really striking in person.
Do any of you know anything about doing this kind of photo art?
