I've got a bunch of images 6x4.5 and larger which are going to have to wait awhile for their web debuts! Output-wise, can any home inkjet printer pretty consistently turn out prints which are free from any sign of banding? Or can a $600 Dye-sub printer serve as a person's only printer (a rare letter or two) without burning through $50+ worth of non-refillable dye carts real quickly? Can a person use said printer to create 8x10 negatives, which could then be contact-printed onto #2 photographic paper, for easy fine art prints?
