Recommendations for an inexpensive single purpose photo printer

[Paul]

Can anyone recommend a good quality, single purpose printer, which wouldn't break the bank

THANX

I think we'd need more information before we could recommend anything - need to know what size you need to print to etc. Many low-end printers are cheap enough to buy, but can have very high running costs.

What are your thoughts so far?

Hi again Colin.

Thanks for your response. In terms of print sizes my current printer covers most of my needs. 8.5*11inch, 4*6inch and 8*14inch which I do not use very much. I would go to 8.5*17 inches if everythig else was ok because I occasionally do panoramas. Thus, my main concern would be the photo print quality both in colour and black and white.

I trust this specification will enable me to generate some answers.

Hi Paul,

I'm probably not going to be much help as I've only ever had experience with professional-grade printers - so my suggestion would be (if you're after something robust and bullet-proof) to look at something like an Epson 4880 ...

... it's starting to get into the "serious" territory though!
