What is the best home color printer for photos? I have purchased soooo many color printers. The last was a Kodak color all in one printer but the photo quality is so poor. What is the best (and affordable) color printer for the amateur photographer, home user?
Answer
Don't forget to take the warranty and cost of ink into account. The winner in both categories is Epson.
The best deal in a photo printer is the Epson Artisan 810 for dollarsignr130 at B&H http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=636515&Q=&is=REG&A=details
It's a wireless copier/scanner/fax/photo/CD printer with 6 individual ink cartridges for high photo quality. The best warranty in the industry. For two years, Epson will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one should you need it. I recently bought 3 Artisan 800 refurbs for myself and 2 neighbors. It's an awesome machine! I would have bought a new 810 for only dollarsignr30 more had it been available.
If that's beyond your budget there are several models in the dollarsignr50-dollarsignr80 range with 1 year warranty. Right now Epson has the NX510/515 under clearance for dollarsignr49. It's also wireless.
