Printing your own work makes you a better photographer because you can visualize the finished work from conception through shooting and editing to printing so that it's a cohesive process.

Canon printers are not only excellent printer., They are an excellent value. I have a pro-100 that retails for $500, and it makes 13"x19" gallery-quality prints that are as good or better than I could get from Whitewall or any other printer.
Also, I use Canson and Hahnemeuhle papers almost exclusively.
