What is the best printer to buy if I am interested in printing my photos at home?

As far as which photo printer is right for you, it depends on what all you would like to do with it. Would you like to print normal documents as well. Do you want to copy and scan also? For photos, I recommend HP's new line of printers. Photos come out clean and clear, waterproof, smudgeproof, and fade resistant for 100 years. I have included links that show more information about these printers.\n\nPortable 4x6 photo printers.\nIf you just want to print 4x6 photos, you can purchase a portable photo printer. These machines are strictly for photos. HP has a new line of portable photo printers that print 4x6, 5x7, and 4x12 (panoroma). Most have a LCD screen where you can view and edit your photos without using a computer. They cost between $100 - $250, depending on the features. These printers are handy if you want to print your photos at parties, sports games, on vacation, or anywhere else you could take your printer with you. These are popular printers right now because of their portablility. The photo printer used by the critters in Over the Hedge is an HP portable photo printer.\n\nRegular photo printes\nMany people want great photos, as well as normal productivity (such as printing documents, copying, scanning, or faxing). If you do not plan on traveling with your printer and want more funcionality, these are the printers for you. If you do not want to copy, scan, or fax, the HP D7160 or D7360 is a good choice ($150 - $199). If you want to print, copy, and scan, I own the HP Photosmart C5180  (does not fax, $199). This is the printer I recommend to everyone. If you do want fax, the HP C6180 has everything, including fax.\n\nI recommend the 6-cartridge HP Photosmart printers for photo printers. Many companies are now using the individual ink cartridges now for each color of ink. Unlike Canon or Epson, with HP you can purchase all 6 cartridges along with 150 sheets of 4x6 waterproof paper in a combo pack for $37. This averages out to 24 cents per photo and the photos are much better than what you would get at Wal Mart (Canon and Epson printers cost 55 cents per photo). The HP 6-cartridge photo printers are the most customer-friendly photo printers on the market.\n\nMy recommendation to you is:\nHP A616 (A617 at Best Buy) for a portable 4x6 photo printer.\n\nHP D7160 for a regular printer that also prints great photos.\n\nHP C5180 for a regular printer that also copies, scans, and prints great photos. (My top recommendation, though all these photo printers have about the same quality).\n\nHP C6180 is you want everything the C5180 has plus the ability to fax and wireless networking.

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.

Definitely use Hewlett-Packard. Of all the printers I have bought they've never let me down and any other brand has been a sheer disappointment, not to mention the fact they're fast, quiet and economical.\n\nUnlike Canon, HP replace the printhead along with the ink so every time you get a new cartridge, you can be certain you won't have poor quality and 4,800 DPI on an HP means 4,800!\n\nMaybe Lexmark or Dell, but if you want something affordable, economical, quiet, fast, sleek, compatible and quality I would not go past an HP-PSC. With an integrated printer, scanner and photocopier along with card-readers (if you buy the more expensive models) you get it all for an extremely low price.\n\nHewlett-Packard mean low price - high quality.

Any printer that works for a desktop will also work just as well for a laptop.  Size may matter however if you are going to lug it around :)

Depends on what you are going to use them for.  Generally speaking, Canon printers are probably better overall than Epson, but it varies a little bit between models.  Epsons are probably going to be cheaper than Canons, but that's because you usually get what you pay for.  There will also be more Epsons models to choose from and more lower-priced choices.  Canon really only has one or two entry level models, so everything else is usually above $100.  Epson has a wide range of products, so while they have very well-reviewed machines like the R2400, they also have some poorly-reviewed machines like the C88.  Generally, Canon printers are more consistent so even though they might not have the top ranked printer on the market, they really don't have any bad ones either.\n\nThe main complaint that people seem to have with Epsons is that they frequently have to run the cleaning utilities, which is annoying and it also uses up ink.  This has improved over the years, but it is still a bigger problem for Epson than for Canon.

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.

if you want to print quality photographs buy an Epsom. They have separate ink cartridges fr each tone and there are excellent value. Expect to pay around £80-£100 for a descent one.  Check out comet on line for offers, tesco are also pretty good for printer prices especially the inks. I used an Epsom Stylus DX4800 for my university portfolio presentation to industry professionals for my finals and the prints where of a very high standard.\n\nif however you want to print a lot of word documents as well then go for a HP printer. There not as good on photo quality but it's a much faster text printer.

You can get a HP 3015 all in one laserjet for around 300 bucks Office Depot has a advertised price of $239.99, go for the lasejet because the toners last a long time and your print-out and faxes will look better. laser faxes that you recieve are actualy readable compared to the ribbon faxes which leave something to be desired. ink jet machines will put you in the poor house buying ink all the time.

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!

YOu need a multi-function printer. A pure printer can't scan photoes.

Dell printers are "sucker bait".  You would be better off with a Canon printer.  It's much cheaper per cartridge.  Even if you pay $120 for your new Canon Printer, it will pay off in cartridge costs in under a year.   \n\nYou see, that free Dell printer simply was not worth it.  You know the saying....  "if it sounds too good to be true, it is". \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!
