I'm Rip Van Winkle. Just woke up from 25 years away from photography. Tell me about inkjet photo printers. They didn't have them before.
As an example, review sites seem to like this one: Canon Pixma TS9120
Is having one in this price range any fun? I doubt I'd print a bunch, but I have some ideas. I'd want them to look good though. Like glossy photographs. Sharp and bright. Something a young Rip would recognize.
How's the maintenance on these? I can't see myself making more than a dozen prints a week (maybe 6 tries each for 2 good prints.) The example printer takes 6 cartridges. How long will they last, unused? I'm more concerned about them drying up than running out. Would that happen if I didn't use this machine, say, all summer? Could I start where I left off?
Do these usually come with ink, even trial-size ink, or do I have to buy ink before I know if I like it?
Back in the film days I dabbled in making color prints. But it was impractical and unsatisfying to do on a small scale. Results from Jobo kits and the like just weren't worth the cost and effort. I'm concerned consumer inkjet printers are the new Jobo. Am I wrong?
