I recently invested in an Epson 3880 ink jet printer. For the last few years, I would normally print anything here in town, but after producing the last 3 shows I've done the cost to print was getting astronomical. Now that I have this piece of equipment, I'm going to be offering my printing services to other photographers and artists needed museum quality prints done by myself. Without much of the overhead that a traditional digital repro house would have I can offer these prints at roughly 50% of the cost of printing them.
A little background on my printing 'chops':
Started processing and printing B/W in 9th grade
Purchased 1st darkroom kit in 1984
Color and C print training at Evergreen State College
Worked professionally as an expert printer, The Film Lab, Portland Oregon. During this, I assisted in printing 24x36" B/W fiber prints for the University of Texas' retrospective of David Hume Kennelry's work
3 years commercial print production and color matching / print ripping
Years of general graphics and photography experience
I've set up an email address for information.

The rising popularity of computers has changed many industries over the past decade, and commercial printing companies are hardly immune to these shifts. Because computers and the Internet offer people an easy to use, frequently effective and extremely low cost method of communicating with one another, some have argued that print will soon be obsolete. Magazines and newspapers are losing readers to blogs and interactive websites, companies are choosing to advertise online instead of springing for pricier print ads, and even books are being converted into digital files that can be viewed on a portable electronic reading device. But while it is true that fundamental changes are occurring, it would be a mistake to assume that the commercial printing industry is no longer viable.

With the introduction of the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, the bar has once again been raised and the realm of what's possible expanded. Engineered for the most discriminating professionals, it comes with a variety of technological breakthroughs that will make it the benchmark by which all other 17-inch printers are measured. In fact, there's so much innovation in this feature-rich printer, you might expect a much larger footprint, but the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 is remarkably compact, equal in size to many 13-inch printers.
