ok just got a quality digital camera and i dont have a printer, whilst in pc world i saw a little printer which prints photos exactly the same size as if it came from the developers!!! only £129 too

but im thinking maybe i need one for printing letters etc also, but i do want somin which i can print off photos, i suppose i have to cut the picturs out of the a4 paper? what do ya normally do print 4 pics per a4 page or somin?
i will also need that photo quality paper? whats the best and cheapest?

so.... long story short...lool

i need a printer? were are the bargains? may go look in pc world again later, but i hate being ripped off... i like a bargain

Asked the same question a couple of weeks back

Ended up ignoring all the advice to get an Epson and bought a Canon S820 for £199 including full ink tanks (uses separate colour tanks).

prints up to a4, borderless, etc.

Absolutely delighted with the quality

I've punted out a couple of Epson C82's recently, very impressed for around £93 + VAT.

I bought the Epson Stlyus Color 950 for £380

This is the dogs bollox printer

You can put a roll of glossy paper on the back and attach a little cutter to the front and it will cut and trim your photos and catch them in a little bag, also prints A4 etc

Oh yeah, you can put white faced CD's in the front tray and print directly onto the CD surface

Personally, I've given up using any of my printers, and take the images into either a local lab, or Jessops (depending on whether it's work or not), and the prints are superb. No wastage, and probably cheaper than doing them at home.

However, if you feel you must get a 'photo quality' printer, there's nothing to touch the Epsons, and that's coming from someone who has always been an HP guy. They do use a little too much ink for day to day printing, IMHO, but their print system completely eliminates banding, and I've yet too see results from any other brand that can match them for quality.

is it really cheaper to get the digi photos developed in the shop? is the photo paper that expensive then?

For true photo work the Epson's are the best about...

just bought an epson stylus photo 895 including an LCD screen from Dixons or Currys on offer for £139, these have now been replaced with a newer model which is about twice the price
the quality of the photos are just fantastic but remember to use epson photo paper as I tried some "PC line" brand but the quality was so bad it's a waste of money

My dad uses an Epson Photo Stylus 750 and is very pleased but it costs a lot in cartridges and paper to do. Personaly i just take mine to Jessops.
