If I had to choose a printer (or whatever else) for proofing.. I won't choose the best one.
Instead I will choose the average one, or the most popular one among my typical clientele.
If you choose the best one it will look great to you, but you wont know how it looks to your clients on their less than ideal equipment. Unless all your clients are top notch, of course.
In a ideal world, I will buy 3... a cheap one, and average one, an a top one.
So wen you print, you can evaluate for compromises.6 -

I wonder if the day is not far when type designers buying printers to test how their fonts will look will be the only people buying printers.1
