How wide?
For what kind of prints? (Fine art, large format, POP, or proofs?)
Check out www.flaar.org for some unbiased reports (though some are a little dated now. They don't keep the site up as well as they used to). Call up a couple of manufacturers and ask to see a model in your price range in action. While watching, ask the tech what he hates about his machine. You will have to shop hard cuz the salesdudes are all hype and some of these machines are SLOW as molasses when printing at top quality.
