Review of SAGEM Photo Easy 255 by
lordmercia
Advantages: Affordable, Connectivity, Quick, Portable.
Disadvantages: Consumable Availability, Head Gets Dirty Quickly.
Well, these days everyone likes photo's. Most have digital camera's and so personal photo printers are quickly becoming must have accessories to complement the cameras. Being honest, I myself wasn't too interested in owning a personal photo printer, I was perfectly happy using Boot's online service to get my digital prints or simply use my standard printer, although upon owning one I do find it has it's benefits, especially since I got it free from ... ...phone contract.)

Even the wife admits it makes pretty good prints
Review of Sony Picture Station DPP-FP30 by
dobieg
Advantages: Astonishingly good prints
Disadvantages: requires special media, 23p a sheet
...announced that I'd bought a Sony DDP-FP30 (well, at any rate, that was the 'polite' translation!)
She was right to a point - We use a Samsung laser printer (which I've reviewed previously)on the main PC - mostly for printing reports, projects and general rubbish that doesn't need colour.
We've got an ancient Epson colour inkjet, which is attached to the kid's PC, which aspires to photo quality, but really doesn't deliver the goods, and there's ... ...which are connected to an absolute dinosaur of a minicomputer (size and weight of a couple of washing machines!)
So why invest in 'another toy which you'll get fed up with in a couple of weeks'?
- well - this one's different! (but I would say that!)
The DPP-FP30 is a compact dye sublimation printer which is designed to produce high quality colour photographs in what approximates to 'quarter plate' format (roughly 4"x6" - less margins).
The claimed ...

HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180
Review of HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180 by
my_user
Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years
Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:
I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. ... ...Drawbacks with this printer: It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty.
It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price.
After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink) Printing time is very very….slow
Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print ...

A good photo printer
Review of HP PhotoSmart 7260 by
hnilesp
Advantages: Good quality, elegant, fast
Disadvantages: expesive maintenance
This is a very good products with both pros and cons. The design structure of the printer is very aesthetic and eyecatching. The presence of a five in one card reader is of great assistance. Not only in the process of printing straight out of the memory chip but also in connecting such memory chips to the computer. As the name suggests this printer is primarily designed for the use as a photo printer and it does its job absolutely well. The print ... ...as well. A lot of ink is wasted during the printing process and the cost of the cartridges are very and refilling is equally expensive. The capacity of the basic cartridges that come with the printer is very limited. Another issue common to most inkjet printers is that the ink solidifies when the printer is not used commonly. But I'd clearly recommend this product to anyone who wishes for a worthy colour printer. ...

Lexmark is very reliable
Review of Lexmark X3580 by
lulabell87
Advantages: wifi, screen
Disadvantages: 2 separate ink cartridges
...ago, i have always had lexmark printers, and i really liked the design of this one. It is an all in one, so a printer, scanner and copier, and the price ranges from around £30-50 which i think is reasonably good value for money. It takes two print cartridges, one black on colour, the numbers are 3 and 4 cartridges respectively, which are also fairly cheap. at between £13-18 depending on where you purchase them, I find the fact that it has separate ... ...just have one cartridge for both, as i personally use a lot more black than colour, so i only have to replace whichever one is needed as opposed to the whole cartridge, when there may still be colour ink left in it. It has an extendable tray which you can pull out while it is printing to catch the paper, and the buttons are easy to use. It was also very easy to install, with no major problems arising. It also has a good warning system of when the ...
