Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8000

I would consider the Epson 3800 or the Canon IPF 5100.  And make sure you use OEM ink.  You get the best results and the longest life.  If you want to print even larger look at the Canon IPF6100.

Depends on the size you want and the room you have to set it up. Pro
photographers use 17 inch to 64 inch printers again depends on their
needs. Canon, Epson or HP all make excellent printers that give prints
that rival or exceed laser prints on traditional photo paper. I
decided anything over 16x24 was infrequent enough to do with an
outside vendor. I bought a Canon iPF5000 and it has been an excellent
printer, the Epson 3800 didn't take roll paper and the 4880 penalized
you $60 to change between black inks if you changed from photo to
matte papers, but both the printers printed well. If you want a bigger
printer I'd wait for the Epson X900 series and compare the three
majors then. None of the LF printers are "perfect" but they all print
well.
You really have to do some research at vendors for these printers. If
you are outside Austrailia, Europe, Japan or the US you may have to
buy what your local vendors have, again with the choices available you
really can't go wrong.

Some years ago, I made the mistake of feeding glossy photo paper through
a laser printer. It was a mess. The heat of the fusing drum inside the
laser melted the glossy coating from the photo paper. Learn from my
mistake..DON'T Do It!

What kind of photos do you do? Wedding? Portrait? Photojournalism?
Framed landscapes? Photo greeting cards?

Different genres of photos require different printers.

Sounds like you fed inkjet glossy through. Laser glossy is fine.

That's right up there with my brother-in-law who put an egg in his new
microwave oven, unpunctured. He spend the rest of his morning scrubbing
the kitchen, floor, walls, and ceiling!

I'll bet cleaning that fuser roll was fun.

How did he get the microwave to work with its door open?
