The Epson "Stylus Photo" printers are an excellant choice (I have an Epson Stylus photo 700 and love it) as are the high end Hewlett Packard printers (the ones that use Photo Ret III). Actually, you ARE printing out "photos"! A rendered 3D image has the same tonal gradations and color range as a photo, so you need a printer that is able to handle that. The Epson's use 6 colors for printing, which cuts down on the graininess in the lighter colors and, the new ones have inks which are resistant to UV light, so they should last around 30 to 60 years. 'Hope this helps...
