| Re: [Misc] Home Use Printer Suggestions While I know lots of people *love* to print their own stuff at home, you really can't even begin to compete with sending your prints to Costco (if one is close enough).
They use Fuji Crystal Archive paper and they're GREAT quality.

Pay the postage and have it done by Fuji Labs....
Amazing results and not dependendent on local no nothing bozo running the photo departmat, just MAYBE remembering how to push the buttons.
But to get back to OP question.... as others have said want a real image phot vs quick and dirty one time... send it out even to the cheapo's.
BUT for home Inkjet might seem cheap, till you lok at supplies, and fade factor..... Color Lasers have gotten quite ecconomical and and that is where I would go, for basic quick color prints at home as well as other uses. Lasers generally also MUCH faster.

| I have an old Epson R300 and love it. My neighbor bought a Canon Pixma a year or so ago and I have to admit that the prints are just a bit better than the Epson.
One thing that was both high on our list of requirements was that the prints come out immediately dry and are waterproof.
I can't speak for the new HP's because I have not owned an HP photo printer for years, but the last HP printer I had was only water resistant. The prints came out damp and had little resistance to water spots.
(For what it's worth to anyone with a older HP, a quick 20 seconds in the microwave does dry the prints out.) | |
