Probably, yes. There would be a fine balance point between print volume, printing cost and sales volume you'd have to find for yourself. If you start selling prints by hundreds/month, you would need commercial printing capacity, for sure. Most professional photographers use commercial printer labs for the final product. But for semi-pro's Epson P800 is a great option; just because you can play with your prints.
Like I said in the first response, $1,500 is not a huge investment to try it out and see how it works. Another thing to keep in mind, the ink cartridges must keep working regularly, at least once a week to not dry out and plug the jets.
