Prints are forever: Printers for your digital camera

While digital photos can be enjoyed on your computer or TV, there is no substitute for prints which you can hold in your hands and hang on your walls. Fortunately there is a great selection of reasonably priced photo printers available today.

Canon printers are famous for their picture quality and the Canon PIXMA iP4200 delivers with its proprietary FINE technology which uses tiny droplets to produce finely detailed photos with little grain. The iP4200 has a number of convenient features like two-sided printing and a dual paper tray so that you don’t have to keep switching between photo and regular paper.

The Epson Stylus R250 has some useful features as well like in-built memory card slots and a colour preview screen. It is optimized to save ink; you only need to replace a single depleted cartridge instead of the entire set and there is also a special mode for saving black ink.

Finally the HP Photosmart 7838 has four memory card slots including Compact Flash, Secure Digital and Memory Stick. What this means is that you will able to directly access the printer without any annoying wires. The printer also comes with a colour display for pre-viewing photos.
