I am researching inkjet printer because I’m not happy with the results I’m getting from my current printer, when I print pics. I was hoping someone could share with me what they think the printer is for printing pics (from experience only please) ..
thanks
Answer:
As far as output, Epson, Canon and HP all do a nice job. You probably want a 5-color plus black as opposed to a 3-color plus black because the extra colors give you superior color matching. There are also 6-color and 2-black printers for perfectionists, but the printers and the ink tend to be pricey. I've seen the output of the 5-color ones and they look great to me.
That stated, I have used and suggested Epson for many years because of the warranty and the availability of affordable ink.
The ideal warranty in the industry. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one.
Epson has also made things easier for their customers by standardizing their cartridges. Most of their printers use one of two types. The three-color plus black use T069 (CX5000 CX6000 CX7000 CX7400 CX7450 CX8400 CX9400FAX CX9475Fax NX100 NX105 NX400 Workforce 30/40/500/600 and C120) and the 5-color plus black use T078 (R260 R280 R380 RX580 RX595 and RX680). This means finding cartridges is easy.
I get cartridges for my Epsons from http://ccs-digital.com for under $3 each which hold 50% more ink than standard cartridges.
You can get a 3-color multi-function printer for $40 at Officemax (down from $80)

You can get the R280 5-color printer for $70 from Epson.com It even prints to DVDs and CDs.

I've heard some pretty good things about the new photo printer from Kodak, and as a plus, the ink for it is a lot cheaper than ink cartridges for other brands too.
