Default Good photo printer

Can someone recommend a good photo printer please.

The only issues important to me are photo quality and photo longevity.

I'm not concerned about print speed, the ability to print direct from memory
cards, touch screens, etc.

It's unlikely I'll need to go above A4 size, but I may pay extra for an A3
printer if the quality of the photos it prints makes it worthwhile.

Are any of the all-in-one printer/scanner/copiers any good or should I stick
to a specialist photo printer?

Thanks

Pete

Be aware that you can get Continueos Ink Systems for many Canon and Epson
printers. (I have an Epson R320.) They will greatly reduce your ink costs
and also let your select the type and brand on ink that your want to use.
Search on Google for CIS or Continueos Ink System Epson (or Canon).

Generally the printers that use 6 or more ink colors will give more accurate
colors.

Also in my opinion you will get the best photo longevity out of a comercial
lap that does light printing. They have a machine that exposes photo paper
and then develops it in standard RA-4 chemistry. Try different ones. I use
the local Wal-Mart and Snapfish. Also at the local Wal-mart the 1-hour
printing generates a Matt finish print while 2-day printing generates a
glossy print.

Hope my 2-cents helps.

William

If those are the only issues then I suggest a professional lab.
