Hi All,
I've had photos back from a couple of online printers in the past, and never been overly thrilled with the results, especially in photos where I have edited colours (hue, saturation etc.) So for this reason, and for convenience, I'm thinking of buying myself a printer.
I've never owned or used a printer designed specifically for printing photos before, so I'm hoping I can tap into the vast collective knowledge on this for some recommendations.
I think I'd be willing to spend up to £200 ($395) and would want to be able to get quality prints up to A4 size. Is there any other considerations I need to make?
If anyone has any recommendations for printers that they think might be suitable, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Also any advice on this subject would be really welcome.
Thanks very much,
Harry. |

If colour matching is what you are after then you are going to have a pretty tall order without an external monitor calibration tool. I have spent some time taking a trial-and-error based approach to getting this right. In the process I have had to learn loads about different colour-spaces and such.
Things have no doubt moved on since when I investigated, but the criteria I remember as important are:
- resolution
- independant colour cartidges
- cost of printing a page |
