Photo printer

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

K9,

I was in the photo industry for over 40 years so here's my imput.

What someone said in the post earlier about Epson being used by the majority of professional photographers is true, BUT, those photographers are using larger format printers like 11" wide, 17" wide and larger, and they are superb...

second point is if you want to print just small 4 x 6 photos don't waste your money. MOST, not all 4 x 6 printers have the cost of paper and ink higher then if you went to walgreens, cvs, eckards etc... of course convience for use at home is a plus.

Ok last point. If the largest you need to print is 8 x 10 / 8.5 x 11
then most of the major brands are great. I have an older HP Photosmart 7960 and it " S U P E R " The plus is that it only use 3 different ink carts. MANY, not all of the newer units use 4, 5, or 6 inks and it can get expensive and for general home use a 3 cart printer is fine. I have hung photos with 7960 and no one is the wiser.

If I had to buy another 8 x 10 printer I would look at HP Photosmart, Canon, Epson and possibly Kodak, Dell etc...

Good Luck and let me know what you get, maybe f5 will imput also on this
