RECOMMENDATION: A good desktop printer for proofing?

My company is looking to replace an 8-ink system with a new desktop printer for proofing pre-press. A RIP is also a possibility, but I was wondering what the ReDesigners thought a good choice would be.

Right now we have an R1800 which I had to make a custom profile for and has been adequate, but the inks are expensive and the printer is slow.
