I do about 60% graphics, 40% glossy photos, not a lot of either.

Top candidates are Epson R380 and Canon iP6700D or MP units using same
print engines. Epson quality gets good press but terrible on ink usage/
cost. Canon weakness appears to be text quality. More important, does
the Canon allow user-defined paper size? Non-starter if it doesn't.

I'd appreciate any comments on these two, or other choices in the <
$200 range.

Thanks for any ideas you can offer.

I have a Canon 6700 and like it very much for color prints. I'm not concerned about its text capabilities because I also have an HP 1020 laser print, which is usually available for less that $100 in various sales. My wife and I do a considerable amount of text printing and in the long run the extra cost of a second printer is soon offset by the reduced cost of toner cartridges vs inkjet cartridges. Of course, if space is a significant issue my approach might not work.
