If you want a high quality A3+ printer and don't care about the all-in-one aspects, the Canon Pro-200 comes in around $550 for arguably better print quality. And if you want the best print quality possible, there's better (and bigger and more expensive) options.
This printer sits somewhere in the middle and made the most sense for my use case, since I have precious little desk real estate, didn't want to have to get a stand-alone scanner, needed to retain the basic functionality of my current office printer, and plan on using this for a relatively large volume of photo prints on various media, but also don't make my living with photography.
This printer unofficially supports DTF, sublimation, and pigment ink conversion, but I haven't looked into that too deeply.
I'm determined to bleed my old Canon G4200, which is awful, out of every last drop of ink first.
Despite the abuse, in six months I have not had to once manually clean the heads, or align it. Every printed page, every test page, comes out perfect.
But regardless of office or photo use, this is the best printer out there.
It has two small flaws: No ADF, and a terrible Wi-Fi antenna. Since Adobe Scan / Office Lens, I have no need for an ADF, camera tech has evolved. And the Wi-Fi can be resolved with a bridge Ethernet Wi-Fi adapter.
If you like your printed stuff to look great, and not pay a lot for ink, you want this printer.
They were sold out during the pandemic as it was sublimation-mod-friendly, and everyone and their brother/sister used their PPP money to set up Etsy T-Shirt shops.
Anyone interested in a Pro100 with a locked up (and possibly ruined) printhead? Includes extra bottled refill ink, carts, chip resetter. Boxed up and ready to ship.

The new paper I bought had no issues. The printer is particularly picky about how flat the paper should be. I've tried everything to widen the platen gap via settings but it didn't work for the old paper. So I'm fine with just using the new paper as there are no issues now.
