Martin, we're talking about printing up to 13" here. Even so, your 3800 still doesn't finish the prints, and cannot add any texture. The texturizers I've seen start at about $1500. The original question was "Which photo printer have you been disappointed in?" and I doubt that anyone laying out $3-4K just did it because they want to try their hand at printing, not including the calibration software and colorimeter, which is at least another $1000. Obviously, you invested a great deal of time, energy, money, and training in producing your prints. The average dude here is either going to get a $200 - $500 printer, and use the stock paper profiles, and probably be happy with that. However, that does not compare to what a pro lab can provide. Heck, even with your setup, you cannot provide one tenth of the product offering I can. Therefore, I see it as nothing more than an extension of your hobby. Even if you do sell your prints for a profit.
