In our business we use only Epson as a proof machine because it gives the true color. We proof everything before we run it on our 64" wide format printer. The machine is very inexpensive around $45.00 but the ink is $14.-18. per cassette. Lasts a good length of time. I just iron my white, whatever on freezer paper and send it thru. I have done a Baptizmal Quilt on ivory with pictures of the baby's Mom & Dads wedding, Mom pregnant, pictures from the delivery roomand the final open square was the baby being baptized. I hand sewed it and quilted so it did'nt look out of place. It's been washed 4-5 times, Looks great!
