Reviews for Best Photo Printers

"While most of them are, the range is actually about inkjet-based printers of all types and the H470 is a mobile single-function printer...Based on a similar technology to HPs dedicated photo printers, but with a separate black cartridge as well as the tri-colour one, the OfficeJet H470 can run from mains or battery and through USB, Bluetooth or WiFi...In fact, the base model, reviewed here, doesn't include a battery, which is a lithium ion clip-on option, or either of the wireless connections, which are made through plug-in, flash-drive-style adapters...Setup with a PC takes the usual form of running the software CD and connecting the USB cable, when instructed to..." read more »

"Relatively fast; low cost per page; sleek new color scheme....Poor-quality prints; glitch-prone paper feeder; dSLR owners will miss the CompactFlash port....Tell us what you like about this product...Comparing these reviews to 212229 other Printers reviews gives this product an overall alaScore™ 88/100 = Very Good...Tell us what you don't like about this product......" read more »

"The new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is a A3+ six-colour photo printer that replaces the very popular Epson 1280/1290 model, which is a very old printer by today's standards...With a recommended price of ?299.99 in the UK and $399.99 in the US, is the Epson 1400 a worthy successor to the venerable 1280/1290...Print quality is very good for color images..." read more »

"Portable printing with PictBridge...Expensive...Professionals on the move who may need to print out slides, or photographers who need to print out color photos of their work directly from a camera are just two of the people who can benefit from this...In normal mode, we got a max print speed of 8 ppm in black and 3 ppm in color...You can easily get portable thermal printers which can print small rolls of text (like a receipt), but what if you need to take some..." read more »

"The R2880 is Epson's flagship professional photo printer, with an eight-colour print engine that includes three different blacks for added subtlety...Finally, although it has no Ethernet connection, the R2880 has two USB ports, so two local PCs can connect at once...And the good news is that it's surprisingly quiet in use...Draft quality is legible, and colour documents are as good as you'd expect given the number of cartridges in use..." read more »

"No ethernet or Wi-Fi Pricey standard-yield color inks...Not surprisingly, the $149 (as of 3/3/09) Photosmart D7560 excelled at printing color output on HP-brand photo paper, showing natural, though slightly yellow, images...The HP Photosmart D7560 won us over with its feature-packed design and strikingly good print quality......" read more »

"The B8850 includes many of the same pluses, most notably fully automated self-calibration and a pigment-based ink system for long-lived photos...In fact, other than price, the key difference between the two models is that the B8850 doesn't include a network connector...The B8850's ink system is a far cry from the version in the 8750...The B8850 doesn't so much improve on this system as throw it out altogether, replacing it with that of the B9180, complete with the same cartridges and print heads...The results for both color and monochrome output were as good as those of any printer I've tested, with photorealistic color, appropriately subtle shading, and impressively smooth gradients...As with most printers optimized for printing on photo paper, the B8850 didn't do a particularly good job on plain paper..." read more »

"HP has built an assortment of neat tricks into the B9180, including fully automated self-calibration and a pigment-based ink system...That counts as another good trick, especially for a company that hasn't been playing much in this particular sandbox until now...The quality was as good as anything I've seen..." read more »

"Value Good output all around...No duplex printing Photos may be a bit yellow Replacement inks cost $60 Owners...The Pixma iP3600 gets some praise in reviews as a basic inkjet printer, but reviewers usually come down on the side of the slightly more expensive Canon Pixma iP4700 (*Est...While some say photo prints are good in relation to the printer's price, some mention a yellowish tint...We rank About.com's coverage of the..." read more »

"The Canon Pixma iX7000 is exactly what you would expect from a printer in the Canon Pixma series...The Pixma iX7000 is the printer you need if you must print larger documents and prints...We love all of the features that come with the Pixma iX7000...Overall the printing speed is slower than other inkjets, but this isn’t a machine you get for your primary document printing in an office..." read more »
