Default Re: Photo printer

I would not go with epson, from my personal experience, if you dont use the printer for about 2-4 weeks without taking preventive measures the ink in the tip of the head will dry up and you need a new head, same with the cannon i had. With the hp i got now, if you dont use it for a while, it automatically cleans the head after time passes, and its ready when you need it. maybe the newer epsons and cannos do this too, dont know.

If your looking for a dedicated photo printer for 4x6 get a sony digital photo printer, i have the DPP-EX5 but its quite old and outddated, but does great prints, or get another brand but the similar type (the ones that put coating on the paper, i think its called die sublimation???). They are fingerprint proof, smudge proof, and water proof to an extent, by that i mean if a drop of liquid falls on it you can wipe it off, the reason is that it puts a layer of clear cote on top.

if you want an all in one i went with hp. rite now i have the hp photosmart 3210 and its great. you can print up to 8x11 photos, with great quality on photo paper. but these are not smudge or finderprint or water proof.

sorry i got no links for ya, but you can just search goodle for them.
