Research Photo Printer Ratings Before You Buy
More and more printers designed specifically to print pictures are flooding the market. If you take a lot of pictures, but don’t want to make a thousand trips to the photo shop, you might want to buy your own photo printer. This purchase could actually end up saving you money in the long run, or not so long run if you print enough pictures. But don’t just rush out and buy the cheapest printer. Read some photo printer ratings before you make a purchase so you are spending your money wisely. By just taking a few minutes to read some photo printer ratings, you could end up finding a nice bargain. Several web sites provide free and rather in-depth photo printer ratings, so take advantage. Many photo printers are designed to be as compatible with cameras as possible, and others are designed to print the best pictures, while the best have both of these advantages and more. Take a look at these photo printer ratings from cnet.com and try to find one that works for your price range. The first two are photo printer ratings for higher end printers.
Epson Stylus Photo R2400 – The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 isn’t for everyone: it’s expensive both to buy and operate, it’s a space hog, and it’s a bit awkwardly designed. But when your images mean everything to you–especially if they’re black-and-white–then the R2400 is the printer to own. Its flexible paper handling, long-lived and color-accurate prints, expanded gray tonal range and nth-degree driver controls are designed with enthusiast and pro photographers in mind. Price range: $599.00 – $1,349.95
HP Photosmart A826 – The HP Photosmart A826 is the first standalone snapshot printer we’ve seen that truly attempts to bring the in-store photo kiosk experience into the home. The printer’s large size and extra large touch screen make using it a pleasure. And the fast print speed and wealth of features make it easy to produce a variety of prints. Only its hefty $250 price gives us pause. Given the tendency we have to take lots of pictures, but only print a select few, we wonder who the audience for this product will be. Given its size, it’s not easily portable, so it would be a hassle to drag it around to family events. We think this printer could find a home among professional party organizers and professional photographers, who could set it up as a photo kiosk for attendees to print images straight off their digital cameras or memory cards, or to display a slide show of the proceedings as they happen. Price Range: $175 – $249.99
Here is one of the many photo printer ratings for a more basic printer.
HP Photosmart 230 – This compact and sturdy inkjet resembles a small, gray toaster. When the printer is open and functioning, its entire footprint is smaller than a breadbox, taking up approximately 9 by 15 by 6 inches. Although this inkjet is a little heavy, you can purchase a carrying case for around $35 to make it truly portable. This unit requires some assembly. You must install the software first; then, when prompted, you turn on the power and plug in a USB cable (purchased separately). You shouldn’t have many questions, but if you do, the clear, concise manual should answer most of your concerns.
