Don't know about laser, but I have been looking at this one Epson Stylus Photo R1800, Overview - Product Information - Epson America, Inc. myself. It uses pigment inks.

depends on your definition of wide format i have a 9600 (44") and use ultrachrome (pigmented) inks with it. i've had it about 4 years and love it!

FYI - In our industry, wide format is used for printers 24" or wider. Anything under 24" is called desktop. I guess it is because the 24" printers have stands with them and the smaller ones do not (i.e. so they go on top of a desktop). Makes since. However, I think Epson calls the 4800 a wide format. Too bad Sawgrass does not consider the 4800 wide format. If so, we could use bulk ink and save a ton of money.

The 4800 is pretty huge. I think I saw it at the paperranch booth at the NBM show. I'm surprised it's not called "wide format"

I agree with you Rodney. Here is a link to Sawgrass' site for desktop. Notice the 4000 and 4800 are on the left side - Sublimation.com - Products
