[QUOTE="l_d_allan, post: 203238, member: 5680"] It'd be helpful to get more info from you ... * Paper size (is letter/legal sufficient?) * What, if any, printer do you now have, or in the past? What were pluses and minuses? * What software application will you be using? GIMP? other? * Fade resistance an issue? (pigment has better archival qualities) * Printing volume (print speed may matter, and the "duty cycle" on entry level SOHO printers may be inadequate for large volume) * Color accuracy expectations (CMYK may be fine, but high expectations may call for more ink cartridges like Red, Green, Photo-Light-Magenta, Photo-Light-Cyan, Gray, etc). * Budget for printer and ongoing supplies, including whether you will use OEM ink and OEM paper My observations ... YMMV ... * Canon generally has had the best reputation for photo print quality with entry-level printers, but most venders have gotten better over the past several years, so the gap may not be significant anymore * Older Canon printers are also generally friendlier to cartridge refilling than other brands, if that is an issue (most new printers are increasingly hostile to refilling) * I don't have any experience with printing on Linux. This might suggest staying away from "latest / greatest" printers. [/QUOTE]
