Alaska,

I agree with Julian. There are several routes to take and it is more a
question of personal taste and other requirements.

You should be able to get good results with an Epson 2200, Epson ink and one
of the software packages such as ImagePrint. You could buy the Piezo or R9
plug-in and print well using one of the 8 ink sets available that work with
the software (4 Piezotone, 2 MIS Full Spectrum and 2 from Sundance). You can
also get great prints using MIS Variable Mix or UltraTone inks with the
Epson driver and Paul Roark's RGB separation curve workflow. The new
Sundance Septone inks with their Pixel Pixasso rip do a great job.

If you give us a better idea of what type of prints you want to make, the
recommendations could be narrowed in a bit but personal preferences are
going to be a major determining factor.
