alidfc1 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Am looking at buying a printer specifically for printing photos out approx 30 a week. Can anybody recommend a stand alone printer that can be used with various memory cards and has reasonably priced ink. Thanks
Psymon Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 At home i have got a Epson Stylus Photo R360, prints photos fantastically, and even goes flatbed for printing into CD/DVD's. EPSON Claria Photo Enthusiast Inkjet Printers - Epson Stylus Photo R360 Key features Card Slot, USB Slot, 3.5" LCD to view the photos, 6 Inks to get the light cyan and light magenta colours spot on. Si.
markwatkins Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I second that have an earlier version ink is cheap and now 3 years old still prints v well
contink Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I you get an epson.. look into fitting an external waste ink tank reasonably soonish and also take your time finding a decent ink before you start shoving any old rubbish in there.. It really does make a difference to the longevity of your prints and the amount of clogging you experience... nifty-stuff forums is a good place for advice on the inks... waste ink tank info is on continuousink.info
rlm136 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 So I guess you re just supposed to ignore the question and say what you want.? Or, nobody can answer the question. CAN YOU RECCOMEND A PHOTO PRINTER?
contink Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 So I guess you re just supposed to ignore the question and say what you want.? Or, nobody can answer the question. CAN YOU RECCOMEND A PHOTO PRINTER? Yes, and I can spell too... Do yourself a favour, if you're a first time poster, don't come the big I am and start prodding the locals with a big stick... strangely enough, it often doesn't get the response you want. Now, let's try again shall we? Did you want a more up to date answer on the question? 1
powdarrmonkey Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 CAN YOU RECCOMEND A PHOTO PRINTER? Dammit, my eyes! owww Please see above for a suggested text size for this comment. Also note the following points: 1. you're posting in a thread that died 7 months ago; 2. it's rude to shout 3. I haven't seen you make a recommendation yet; 4. you can't spell. HAND. Noob.
Jacques Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I use a Epson Stylus Photo R1800 very successfully to do photo printing. Ink is not cheap, but the 8 ink cartridges including clear does print good quality photo's.
dirtydog Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I have a Canon MP610 and its great with cheap ink. PC Pro: Product Reviews: Canon Pixma MP610 its replaced by the MP630 now which is still top of the A-List.

PC Pro: Product Reviews: Canon Pixma MP610 its replaced by the MP630 now which is still top of the A-List. No offence but the A-list is a pile of proverbial marketing gumpf that bears little if any resemblance to testing results or real world usage. The MP630 has a worse scanner, smaller/lower-capacity cartridges, a much higher cost per page (by almost double). No ability to use any third party consumables and frankly the only good news is the addition of a printserver internally. (Comparing to the MP610). Having learned as much as I have about inkjets over the past 6 years my respect for PC-Pro has hit an all time low when they published (what I can only describe as shill marketing) a guide on the best printers about a month ago. They were anything but...
powdarrmonkey Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 the 8 ink cartridges including clear Er... run that one by me again??
