I switched from Canon to an Epson XP-15000 and i haven't had to change! It runs 13x19's without a problem! I Only have to adjust B/W Settings and set to Gloss Photo paper! I can still print in color once I switch Back! Epson XP 15000 about $300, Epson Factory Ink about $ 70, and a roll of 13"x100' roll of Transperancy Film about $45 from Amazon and you're Set! Thank me Later 😂

What is the model name for that Cannon printer?

[@Ryonet]

This is the Canon Pixma ix6820

Is it true ink lines need to be purged prior to switching to all black cartridges?

[@Ryonet]

Do they NEED to be purged.... not 100% necessary, but you will have left over ink in the lines before the 100% black hits the print head. So you will not reap the benefits of an all black system right away.
To alleviate this, you can print several sheets of paper with a color design until it all shows up as black ink.
But purging will make all this go faster.

Epson printers all the way! I bought one Canon and that thing would not print more than half the time without clogging issues or streaks. Definitely worth the investment to just buy a really good printer. It'll save you headaches and time down the road. Time in printing is crucial
