Quality photo printers under $200
I'm in the market for one or two photo printers
One for my wife and maybe one for me My wife wants to just connect the printer to the camera and print. I've noticed two ways of connecting. One is by cable. The other is by putting the card into the printer. The cable connection seems a bit harder to manage especially with different cameras having different cables etc. The card reader is maybe a bit hard in that different cameras can have different format cards. Is one better or easier than the other? For the under $200 range how is the quality? My wife wants mainly smaller prints. She is not likely to print anything as large as 8x10 but I could see her using the printer for printing text. I may do larger prints but I like to process my images through photoshop. All the printers I've seen in the stores have good prints on display near them. After a quick read of this group I can see that both canon and epson are liked by some and hated by some. HP seems to not be mentioned in the likes as often but that is after a quick read. It would be nice to have some compatability in ink cartridges between the two printers. What printers should I look at? |

Is there a benifit to a larger number of color cartridges?
I was looking at the canon ip5000 (the double sided printing is interesting for printing stuff for the kids) with only 3 color carts but others like from epson have 6 or more.

More accurate color. Sometimes less expensive to maintain, as you only
replace the colors that run out. Bill Crocker "william kossack" wrote in message news:BbRpd.102244$5K2.53454@attbi_s03... Is there a benifit to a larger number of color cartridges?

I'd second that recommendation - just bought one for a friend and saw how good they were - bought one for myself! It will take cards from the camera or a direct camera connection, and can be driven from your computer as well. David |
