New Printer

Need a new printer for printing photo's only. Doesnt need to be all in one fancy dan setup for heavy duty use, just be v.good for quality photo prints now and again.

Been looking around but it's a minefield and wondered if anyone had any opinions on here?

Thanks in advance

Go for an Epson Stylus or Canon Pixma. It's worth checking if you can get compatible inks for the specific model before you buy as these are much more cost effective.

Canon Pixma range, notably IP4700, IP4800 are both very acomplished at photos and considered about the best around.

Canon > my ip4300 2 years old using compatible cartridge's £6 aset and it still prints like new, it has been well used. Canon inks about £40 a set do the math, the money you safe using compatible's you sharp get your mney back for whet you paid for the printer, print quality is still good using compatibles just get a descent brand.
