Title: best printer brand
Post by: photospill on February 08, 2007, 10:07:39 am
hello there guys, i'm new here. i thought a lot of friends here could help me on what brand to choose for a photo printer. i have Lexmark at the moment that was given to me, the 730 Lexmark Color Jetprinter. And i have a Fuji photo paper. the printed result is not that crisp actually. so i suppose this is normal in ink jet printers?

aside from the brand what printer could you suggest that will be low cost and has a high quality with the printed result/s? thanks


Chris

Not lexmark.

If you do not mind the ink prices you might want to look at the new Epson Claria ink printers.

thanks DarkPenguin, i don't.   i'm not really satisfied with Lexmark that is why i am looking. hehehe! i just checked Epson's Claria Ink printer. that's cool! but what about the printer? what printer are you using at the moment? at least you know the pros and cons of it.

I should have asked your budget.

I'm currently using an HP B9180.  It does a very nice job and is getting pretty reasonably priced.  (I ordered mine the day they were available so my price wasn't quite so good.)  But it is still pretty expensive.
