As my old printer finally gave up the ghost, I had to choose a replacement, and aftera discussion with my local PC shop, I chose the Epson Stylus Photo R240. I've not had it long, but am very pleased with the results so far. It produces photo quality prints, at a reasonable speed and good quality. Set up and operation are quite straightforward, and I got to grips with it very quickly. It is very quiet in comparison to my old printer, as after the initial clunk as it takes in the paper, the printing process is very quiet. I find the LCD preview screen a little small, but it is quite clear, and as it is a feature I've not had before, find it quite useful. It has the ability to print directly from camera memory cards, and to connect directly to a camera, via a suitable cable, as well as working with your computer. All in all I am very pleased with it. For the technical bits,
It works from a 4 cartridge system, with replacement cartridges available for around £7 ( PS, have seen compatible non genuine cartridges for £3.95 each )
Print quality up to 5760 x 1440 dpi
Paper size up to A4, and envelope capability
Borderless prints if required
USB connection to computer
Ability to read directly from most camera memory cards
