Hi

I'm finally back to Digital photography and Like to buy a printer to print my pictures at home.

It is not for professional use, just for my hobby and like to be able to get prints good enough for albums.

I normally dont print bigger than A5, mainly print black and white but colour as well, and usually like matt papers.

in terms of budget, somethin as cheap as possible, I have no idea how much they are to be honest.


Many thanks for the help
 
Canon Pixma for me, super quality printing, various models to choose from, have a look at Argos.
 
plus one for me

pixma, but get a mid range one that has the two black ink wells, if nothings changed since I was selling them

using decent canon paper the quality is great, as is the printer design.
you can get photo dedicated A4 pixma's but it depends if you want it for general printing too, which the pixma does nicely also
 
It might be worthwhile checking the price of replacement ink cartridges before you decide on a printer. My sister bought a cheapo printer and it's great but the replacement cartridges cost more than the printer did.
 
Well I jst found the MP360 on amazon for £109.99 qround £60 cheaper than argos.
Any it has 5 individual ink tanks.
Any ideas about this one?
 
A vote for the canon ip4600 from me.
I find the print quality very good and it will handle the thicker photo paper
 
I have a Canon Pixma ip4600 and the prints are just astounding (I use the Ilford gallerie paper with it using the Ilford profiles in Photoshop). I believe the ip4600 has now been replaced with the ip4700 though. Can't recommend it enough.
 
well - the P630 is pretty much a iP4600 with a scanner bolted on the top, so I reckon you'd not go far wrong with it. I've got the iP4600 myself, and it's been a great printer. Churned it's way through 3 reams of normal day-to-day prints, a good hundred or so A4 photo's and a few dozen DVD's without missing a beat. Not cheap on consumables, but then none of the good quality printers are if you use original inks.
 
+ 1 for the IP4600. Can get the color multi pack for about £19 on amazon, and, trust me, just get cheap 3rd party black inks from Internet Ink, I notice absoloutly no difference and it doesn't mess up the innards. ;)
 
Canon IP4500 / 4600 / 4700 range - I used to have an epson, changed to the Canon and never looked back, :thumbs:
 
Yet another vote for the 4600, good quality and fast too.

Couple of cons, start up time is very slow and does use a lot of ink priming the head.

Always get my ink from Prink, been using them for years and never had a problem
