It depends on how wide you mean. For me, I'm using the Epson R1800 (13" wide.)

I send mine to www.westcoastimaging.c​om (external link) and they use EPSON 9X00's. I have not gone bigger than 24x36. I have tried my local Ritz which now has an EPSON 7800

I've gotten great prints and years of reliable and uninterrupted service from my i9100

The closest model currently that Canon sells is the pro9000 which just replaced the i9900.

These are all 13" wide dye based printers.

I am now using a 17" with IPF5000, but have not used it long enou8gh to comment on it's reliability. It prints on the other hand are the best I have seen from anything. It allows me to print 16 images in a gamut as large as AdobeRGB.

17" with the ipf5000. As CyberDyneSystems stated the prints will blow you away as to the color depth.

with a lot of bugs ;)

I'm rooting for its success, but Canon isn't looking good thus far. That wiki is pretty scary. Glad I stuck with the Epson thus far.

I have no issues. A lot of these 'bugs' I do not see or can not duplicate. The prints are simply amazing. ;)
