Just wait till you see fine art paper printed with. 27 head Giclee printer. Pigment inks guaranteed for 25 years. About £12 for a 12x12
Know what you mean Ken, I'm doing that right now! 12 colour Pigment inks, lasts for 75 years for colour, 200yr for B&W (apparently!) currently going through the Hahnemuhle FineArt texture pack.

PS, there's no such thing as a Giclee printer

Thanks for all the advice, all taken on board and researched.

I think I will first test print a few images across the recommended printers at small sizes to see how they look before getting one printed large and framed. I'm a bit lost with the profiles and whatnot and it doesn't help being colourblind, so I need to experiment a bit.

As far as Loxley Colour are concerned there is no need for profiles, I certainly have never bothered and results have always equalled or exceeded expectations. I do check the ' do not colour correct' box
