Getting a photo printer could be very complicated because there are so many options. By way of example among merely Hewlett Packard and Canon there are actually more than 55 photo printers for sale in most price points. Looking in an office supply store I frequent at the various models was equally confusing and the sales people really were not much help. They didn’t seem to know all the models, and the sales data sheets were close to useless. I though maybe looking online would be a good idea as there must be 1000s or reviews, right?
Well, reading through endless reviews and opinions, both at 3rd party websites in addition to ones like Amazon.com may be very useful, but it surely makes sense to know some basics to begin with, and I didn’t. Also knowing about the dates on reviews is critical simply because products and also technologies improve fairly speedily. For example the particular photo printer I acquired two years in the past, while nonetheless functional, is nearly obsoleted by much less expensive and also better models today. A photo printer from close to six years ago is really obsolete and I am unable to without difficulty link it to the computer system as the connectors have changed! I definitely needed a new photo printer.
In my research I discovered some basic questions you need to ask yourself about how and where you’ll be using your printer. For example, do you really need just a simple photo printer to simply produce a couple of pictures a week, or maybe are you going to end up making hundreds and hundred of pictures? Some people utilize their photo printer at home if they require a quick picture, but use some sort of professional printing service in order to make large amounts (the local camera store and several online services are convenient and have good prices) . Furthermore, does portability matter? Are you going to be moving your printer around, much like you do with a camera? I have buddies that carry their easily transportable printers on vacation, though I do not require that portability and you may not as well. By the way, many serve as copiers and faxes in addition and therefore are frequently identified as All-In-One products. These are wonderful for a lot of small home offices for example, but you may not need or want that functionality.
Look at the expense of paper along with especially ink too! These expenses can be huge should you print a lot. Kodak started a recent marketing campaign around fairly priced ink, and some ink cartridges surely seem unfairly priced! You can always use non manufacturer equivalents which are cheaper and may be fine for your purposes. They work well for me. For those who in addition print a lot of non colored documents, be sure you can swap just the black printer ink with out needing to replace all of the colors at the same time.
So what did I buy? It doesn’t matter, because although it’s perfect for me most likely another model will be right for you.
