I've been thinking about buying this printer and was curious if anyone
has one yet and what your thoughts are about the build quality and
images it produces?

I have a old Epson Photo-1270 and have had the heads clog up on me but a
little Windex has always cleared them for me and after years of use it
still prints as nice as day one.

I have read about how nice the Cannons are as far as prints go but the
longevity of those prints concern me.

Your thoughts please and thank you for your time.

Read reviews in PC Mag and PC World on the R800. It uses the same print
engine.

There are reviews of the R1800 that may be more relevant though :-)

There are a number of differences.

http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20R1800/page_1.htm
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1779210,00.asp

http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Epson_R1800_Printer/4505-3156_16-31286093.html

But I don't think the OP was asking for review sites - he was asking for
actual user feedback.

I've had mine about three weeks now. Initially I had banding for a couple
of first prints. I think I shook up the ink too much. But, now the prints
are great. Everything jumps right out. My privious printer is the 780,
similar to yours except the smaller version, same problem here with
clogging, but great prints after windex. I almost went with he canon i9900,
but permanance issues I heard about. I talked to a lot of people with the
R800 and its been out over 6 months and no one with clogging. I have not
had my R1800 long wnough to find out about clogs. Prints are great though!
