phatman Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 ...anyone ever research whether it's cheaper to just use a target or walmart vs the cost of the printer, ink and paper?......have the $ diminished now on that cuz for a long time ink and photo paper was ridiculously high in price......

HAZE Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I would go with a Canon, that's what I have. They have 4 ink cartriges. One black, majenta, blue and yellow. You only have to replace one at a time and they go for about $10 each. Stay away from HP, they have 4 cartriges, each running about $40-$45. For that price you can just buy a new priniter when the ink runs out.Definatley check out ink prices first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weyes Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 i work at a camera store/photo lab and it's WAY cheaper to have your prints done at a lab. first of all, inks are ridiculously expensive. don't forget, ink is covering the entire page; think of how fast you go through ink already on your normal printer, now try to imagine how much faster you'd go through it on a photo printer.the paper's expensive, too, and you'd make mistakes and have more waste around edges than you would at a lab. 4 x 6 prints at my lab are 27 cents each (we're more pricey than costco 'cause we're MUCH higher quality), and a box of 25 archival sheets is $8.99, or 35 cents. my lab also does fine tuning that you might not do (i don't know if you adjust color, density, contrast, etc.).a home printer is good for convenience, though, if you want to make quick prints every now and again.
