Printers

[Matt..]

Are there any photo printers worth having for sub £100 (as cheap as possible)? I'd quite like the ability to print out pics quickly for putting on my office walls.

Thanks

Canon Pixma iP7250 cracking little printer, wifi enabled, inks are a reasonable price, very handy. I was so impressed I bought two more for the family.

If you need them within a few minutes then there are plenty of decent inkjets out there. Trouble is, they can dry up if not used regularly, and ink can be a little pricey. To get the best results you'll also need photo paper.

If you can wait a day, and are anywhere near a branch of Boots, Asda etc... then one of their photo machines will do a pretty decent job for just a few pence. Size will be limited to something like 9" x 6" but you won't have to worry about buying ink, or a printer, or the paper.

If you can wait two days, and can send a batch of pictures (to keep the £5 postage acceptable), then DS Colour labs cannot be beaten.

For quick 6x4s I bought a cheap Canon Selphy, it's a dye sub printer and it's a lot lot better than the normal printer I have. Think it was £16 on ebay (used) and I bought 3 packs of ink and paper for it (£30)

At 6x4 you can get away with quite a lot, so phone pics are acceptable but anything else I'd send out to DSCL. I've got some film winging it's way to them at the moment, they're one of only a handful that you can give pretty much anything to and they'll make it look good at a decent price.
