Canons are great for home printers, they are very unlikely to clog even when left alone for extended periods, and have better maintenance. Their Pixma PRO-200 is a strong option. Epson are really the only other brand I know pros to use, I have a 9890 from them a Canon tabletop, and have used a number of Canon and Epson printers, tabletop and self standing. They are on par in image quality (though Epson's own brand papers are better, to the degree I know people using Epson paper profiled for Canon printers). Canons can rarely get quite hard to shift clogs, but Epsons will clog more or less guaranteed after 48hr un-used. Epson clogs usually shift more easily. Epsons are more archival, but for your budget I suspect the paper, not the ink, is the limiting archivality factor. Colour rendition is near identical, certain small Epsons might have the edge in fineness of detail, but to really see that at even 13x19 size you'd need to be using a fairly high MP sensor.
