Advice please Cannon i9100 or Epson 2200

[Tom Monego]

The 2200 has a roll paper-cutter, but is carriage limited to 13" rolls.
However, I personally would not recommend using any Kodak paper with this
printer.

Just talking paper prices, Kodak Premium inkjet paper (the one at BJ's) is
more for dye based printers, doesn't do badly with long lived dye inks (Lyson,
AIJ Pinnacle Gold). The Kodak Ultima works well with pigment ink printers
(2200) we us it here for glossies with ours. The Epson may be the paper of
choice for glossy photos, but we can only buy 20 sheet packs locally and they
cost as much as the 50 sheet Kodak.

I just found this Kodak info on printer ink that lasts 100 years with
Ultima paper:

There are Canon and HP printers listed, but no Epson.

I'm guessing that the "state of the art" inks emulsify the surface of
the paper temporarily and become embedded in the structure of the
coating.

Greetings Al,

Actually, most all of the Epson printers will work with the new and old
Kodak paper types. Please visit this site for details on the technology.

Also, you might want to review the 'settings' link as well as the One Touch
feature of EasyShare that will enhance the printing of your printer. The
2200 is in the One Touch list.

Why is it so important to have the printer profile be available in the
printer driver?

I have an Epson 2200 and the directions say to select ICC profile and "NO
changes" in the print driver, then select the ICC paper profile in
Photoshop.

I would figure that most people that are deeply concerned with color
profiles will be printing from ICC aware programs like Photoshop and don't
want the printer driver applying profile on it's own that will conflict or
over compensate for profiles applied at the program level.

Am I all wrong?

The problem, I believe, is that Canon is not providing ICC paper profiles for
i9100 printer/paper combinations. They provide only a generic printer profile,
and the driver does some magic based on the selected paper. You can't do what
you describe with this printer.
