That depends on what sizes you need to print and what you need to print on. A dye-sub is fast and cheap to run, but if you need to print 5X7" or larger acquiring one is expensive. If you need A3+, the Canons are a nice balance between purchase price and running cost. For A2 and over, Epsons and HPs are probably better.

If I had the money I'd own a Canon Pixma Pro-1000.

If your timing is good you may be able to pick up a Canon Pixma Pro-10 for $50 net.

If I was in the market for a 17x22" printer today, I would rather go for the Epson SC-P800 as the cost per print is a bit lower than the Canon, but this might differ between markets as Sweden is, and has for a long time been, Epson country when it comes to large format printers.

I now own an Epson Stylus Photo R1800. I picked it up locally second hand for $120 and couldn't pass up that deal. Haven't tried it. Haven't even connected it up yet.

I maybe looking to get a sublimation photo machine, any suggestions & advice. I need something easy to operate & price range about $600 to $900. I’ll be printing mostly 4x6, 5X7, 8X10...
The DNP DS820A is about all there is that can do 8" on affordable media. It is closer to $1000, so a bit over your price range. The running cost is quite a bit lower than a comparable HiTi unit, though.
