What is your budget?
I tend to think color laser printers too expensive for the printer and toner
cartridges (nothing like having to buy 4 $150 toner cartridges to get started)

If your budget is open, there's lots of great printers.

This is awsome but cant find a price ??

There is another class, inkjet printers used for pre - print proofing now
also sold by Kodak. Example:

Machines in professional print shops get upgraded from time to time, before
Kodak bought the company it was selling under its own name: Creo - Scitex.
When you Google for that name (or search on eBay), you may find used
equipment fairly easily.

If you have to know how much it costs



then you can't afford it.

Define what is "best" for you.

Generally most people will agree that the best results come from InkJet
printers. I would tend to agree.

I have two InkJets down in my basement, one with a set of cartridges the
other is for 17"x11" prints. I have not used either one since I bought my
color laser over a year ago. It happens to be a Minolta and now I believe
it is a discontinued model. In that time I am still working with the
original toner and I have saved enough over the price of ink cartridges to
buy new toner when it finally needs them. With my use I ended up with
clogged ink almost once a week. I tried all the tricks and four different
printers from three companies.

The results I get from the laser is not quite as good, but it is good,
faster and overall I doubt if I will ever use an inkjet again. If I want
higher quality I have it done commercially.

I had thought standard 4 color lasers are just not good for
photos?

Canon Pixima iP6700D looks like one of the best mainstream photo
printers, from what I can see.

Frankly I thought that as well. What I found was they are good. I
would not say my laser is better or even as good as the better InkJets, but
it is not bad. It fulfills my basic needs and as I said, for the few times
I want better, I can use a commercial service that is better than the
inkjets I have had.

I have a Lexmark C710n with 288 meg of memory and find even with
high quality gloss papers specifically designed for laser
printing, photographs do not approach the output of my Epson
Photo 780 on Epson photo paper.

I have been considering a purchase of a Canon, but I am hoping
that they will come out with a model in the US that can also
print directly to CD/DVD's. Now that HP has come out with one,
it looks like Epson no longer has a lock on the market.

Still, taking them to Costco to be printed usually gives pretty
decent results.

I use an Epson R800, for larger than 8x10 there is also the R1800 and
R2400.

Hi.

Up until very recently, I would have agreed with you about the R1800 and the
2400. I have just seen some results from the new A2 HP Photo Printer,
(can't remember its number), which were very impressive.

The owner had profiles made for it by someone in Belgium who specialises in
this Printer, and the quality was really outstanding. Admittedly he shoots
on a Hassel, and then scans the negs, so he has a good File to start with,
but they were better than anything I have seen so far.
