I need to replace my Canon S820D. I've been happy with its speed,
quality (mostly) and features but now it's doing weird color balance.
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.

Don't know exactly what qualities you're looking for but: I have an Epson
R320 with which I've quite pleased. If consummable cost is a concern, you
might want to look at the new Kodak all-in-ones - their consummable cost
is supposed to be about half that of the competition.
