Good photo printer
I'm thinking of getting my wife a photo printer as a last minute
Christmas gift. She's very into printing out family pictures taken with our digital camera. She's not a photography buff, just into recounting our family life. She currently uses an HP psc 2210 all-in-one inkjet printer to do this. It seems to get the job done, but it's slow and maybe not the highest quality. I don't know anything about photo printers or printers in general at all. I'd appreciate it if someone here had a suggestion for a photo printer that would really make her very happy compared to the HP psc 2210. |

It's a digital reincarnation of the Polaroid instant print concept. Plusses: fast, good quality, portable, and will print direct from most cameras. Minuses: will print 4x7 max, and the supplies, cost about 30 cents a print and are single source from Canon. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/cp600.html (BTW are you the Bogas/Pixar/Lightsource/CDDB Ty Roberts? If so, "Hi!". :-) -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/ |

I've been quite pleased with the Epson R320. six separate ink tanks, various flash card reader slots included so you don't even need the computer - does full page printing on up to 8.5x11, and not that expensive - got mine refurb from the Epson online store. |

How much does the ink cost for a high res 8x10 on glossy paper? Thanks. |

PC Magazine used to do an exhaustive report on printers every year - don't know if they still do that. The printer spec sheet should have some info on use of consumables - the one kicker I've found is that I have yet to find any third party cartridges for this line of printers - I think the tanks run about $16 each. |

Hi Sally,
How much does the ink cost for a high res 8x10 on glossy paper? Thanks. Don't know about the 320, I have a R340 which IMO is a very nice printer. Compared to the 2200 I also have the print quality of the R340 is pretty good. Not counting the original cartridges, which didn't last very long, I have used the first inkset to print about 5 8x10", 10 5x7 and about a hundred 4x6 plus about 300 pages of generic text stuff. The black is down to about 40% and the colors are hovering around 50% I think each of those cartridges are about $13 at Office Depot but you can get them cheaper if you shop around on the web and I'm talking original Epson products. -- Arnor Baldvinsson San Antonio, Texas |
