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.

 Thanks - that's really good to know since there's a COSTCO near me. What I want though is to be able to print something on the spot for someone, or just for myself.

Or Wall Mart but DO NOT get it done by local store for pick UP!!!!

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.
