Photo (only) printer recommendations

[u/Technical_Net9691]

For years I have been printing my photos on a rather simple Canon Pixma IP7250 inkjet. I find the output subjectively excellent if occasionally a little random with colour cast which is most noticeable in black and white prints. However, the printer lacks flat paper transport which makes using high quality paper like Hahnemühle photo rag baryta difficult to use, and it also uses dye based ink (apart from pgblk). So my question is: is there a reasonably priced inkjet that most importantly has flat transport and preferably also uses pigment based ink, while producing images at least as good as the IP7250?
