I'd recommend one of the epson photo printers if photo quality is important to you. I've got an 870 (i think) photo & can't fault it.

Do you have a scanner?
If not, Tesco have taken a further £50 off their HP 3in1 printer/scanner/copier. This was initially £199 and is now £99.99.

If you know anyone that works for Tesco, they can pick it up for you at a measly £90! Seems a cracking bargain to me

As far as quality goes, the box states it's photographic quality printing and the scanner is 1200dpi

Merry Xmas,

Paul

ScoobyTal,

buy the one with the cheapest cartridges
.... no, buy the printer as used at your work, and then get the cartridges from there

Cheers

Ian
