I would suggest first looking at what your distribution is going to be. Look at all your requirements, number of prints in the production, paper types etc...\n\nif this is just for small runs, under 10 to 40, and you need excelent quality, I would suggest a solid ink printer from xerox

I like Print Master. I have the Platinum 12 version. It lets you curve text & it doesn't matter what you use for a printer. Good Luck.

eBay is quite good or just go to any computer shop like PC World, PC Components. You may find very good all in one printer.

Tom's Hardware has a nice review of inkjet multi-function printers.  I've found the reviews on that site to be based on facts and pretty reliable.\n\nI hope it helps!

Try this site:\n\nhttp://www.linuxprinting.org/\n\nYou can look up most any printer by make/model to get the current state of compatibility.

Depends on what you kind of printing you want to do.  The overall quality of these three manufacturers can vary depending on which kind of machine you get.  Epson might not have the best quality all-in-one machines, but they have more expensive photo printers that are high quality.  HP has good quality for printing text, but on most of their machines the photo quality might be lacking when compared with other manufacturers.\n\nIf you want to just look at the whole picture, then they would probably rank: Canon, HP and Epson.  Canon doesn't have a ton of machines, but even their least expensive ones are usually pretty good quality.  That's what sets them apart from the other two because HP and Epson sell junky entry-level machines that aren't as good as the rest of their models.  Other than that, Epson machines generally require a little more maintenance than HP machines, so that's why they would probably be ranked behind them.

Get a Lexmark printer they are good for exactly what you described.

I wouldn't recommend an Epson, users have had a lot of trouble with their ink (epsonsettlement.com).\n\nIt depends on how serious of a hobbiest you are.\n\nThe best printer, in my opinion, that's out right now is the HP Photosmart B9180. The only problem is, this machine costs $700. Reported fade resistance is 200 years and the photos are waterproof and smudge proof. This is a professional photo machine. If you didn't need something like that, the HP D7360 is a good photo printer that will give you quality much better than Wal Mart photos.

Seems like you're looking for XMPie or HighWay from Fuji-Xerox. These two solutions are specially designed for professional web-to-print freeflow.\n\nHave a look: http://www.xmpie.com\n\nIf you're interested, you should contact Fuji-Xerox for a demonstration of their product. But bear in mind this solution cost big bucks. On the other hand, it's the best of today's technology for web2print.

In my opinion, stay away from ink jets.  My kids were going through expensive ink so fast.  I hated it.  I finally put a print server on my laser so they can print to it from their PCs.  That was a good move, as toner is much cheaper on a per page basis.

If you mean printed by a commercial printer, then you need to check with the company concerned as to what formats they work with. Most can accept a PDF. Remember if you are using colour work they need CMYK not RGB formats.

Photoshop is very good, but what i suggest is a good ad designer instead of a program as you can have the best program in the world but still make rubbish adverts.\n\nI may be able to make you some adverts: dt_8792@yahoo.co.uk

According to my 10 years experience in Tech field, I would suggest you to go ahead either for Epson or HP. But it depends on your usage, and purpose.\n\nIf you r going to use the printer daily and if u wanna print graphics then Epson has the best Photo Quality, as its Ink gets dried very fast. and tthats the only drawback if u use Epson rarely, as the cartridge gets dried if not used often.\n\nWheras if u r going to use your printer rarely then go for HP Deskjet. as it is the best printer after Epson and lasts longer without drying the cartridge.

Zaheer,\n I found this on Google, hope ithelps you:\n "You need a tool that converts to something that your printer knows how to print. Use Freedom of Press, GhostScript, pageview, TScript, or UltraScript PC. Or, use a printer cartridge if your printer manufacturer sells one."\nGood Luck !!

A really good option is stock.xchng (http://www.sxc.hu/).\nIt is a large community driven archive of stock images that are offered free. There are some options to purchase higher quality options (through a partner site, if I remember) if you were doing a large format print piece, but the images on the site should be more than high enough resolution for website use.\n\nThe interface is basic, but very useful. They have around 200,000 images, and add between 200-500 a day.\n\nHope this helps you.

Any printer/scanner that is XP compatible will work.  Your next question(s) should concern the cost of operating and the quality of the output.  Buying a printer that prints 4 pages per minute as opposed to one that prints 20 pages per minute for a minimal difference in price as well as a higher quality output should also be considered.  If all you want is a cheap printer - you can probably buy one used.
