Hello guys,

sorry in advance if this is posted on the wrong section.

Would like to ask opinions on which would be the best printer for home use for printing pics on photo paper?
Canon / HP ???
It would be a dedicated printer just for pics, very very less for documents.
A printer which does sharp results would be appreciated

Thanks

My Canon pixma MG5270 seems to give good results. drinks ink like water though, i only print pictures casually also feel like I've spent more on the ink than on the printer

why need such a high quality home printer?
just send to the shop only la
way cheaper and nicer result

sometimes wanna print few pic from FB & stuffs, so easier to just print at home lor

U wan.print 4R.only u have good choice for thermal transfer type. If u wanted to print.huge A4(8R) u stuck with inkjet printing which afraid of water and fade over time(10 years)

For thermal(4R fixed size) u can choose from Sony S frame+printer, or canon shelphy printers. They use therma transfer, more accurate color(wider contrast of CMYK vs inkjet) water resistant, tear resistant, and color last up to 100 years.

Sony is faster in printing, and costing is rm1 each print. Printer USB to PC, support multicard up to 32gb
Canon is a little slow, support picbridge(direct USB from camera), costing rm1.2 each print, card support up to 16gb max(slot)(over 16gb use camera USB link)

Both are cheaper then inkjet usually costing from rm1.8 to 2.8 depending on ink and paper, and quality far from thermal type.

Canon and Epson are the best printers.

Both have long lasting inks if paired with the right papers.

Based on studies and there are lots of it Canon claims even 25-100 years for some of their papers and inks (Chroma +)

I would not use cheapo CISS for A4's. All original, costs up to RM5 per A4 sheet.

Some inks are actually pigment type especially Epsons and they are water resistant. Anyway I wouldn't expose an 8R to water.

Thanks for the help guys. Think i'd just have to decide between the S-Frame or Selphy.

Are the printers just default for 4R sizez? Any chance it will be able to set to those other sizes? i.e : 3R or Polaroid frames Does the feeder even accepts these paper sizes?

Thanks guys

if print on glossy paper, it's water proof even if u are using the cheapest printer in the market , or heck even compatibles one

I'm using the canon CP800 selphy and you can only print 4R + another smaller squarish shape format.
You can technically print at 4R and snip it off till it's 3R or smaller.

Pros :
- Extremely compact, it's far smaller than your regular inkjet A4 printer
- You can print it directly from your SD/CF/USB/Most card storage system
- Can function with battery power (optional battery that cost nearly as much as the printer)
- Long lasting pictures
- Adequate image quality
- Adequate printing speed. Bout 1 minute per photo.
- Cheap (For thermal type photo printer)
- Doesn't look like a 6 year old kid's toy like the more expensive Selphy ES-40
- Really simple to use. Even the photo paper and ink comes in a nice package.
- Cost RM1 per 4R photo.

Cons :
- Slightly lower dynamic range compared to professional printers
- It's probably cheaper/same price if you print outside
- You'll have to make sure the photo paper remains dust free or else you'll have defects on your photo when it's printed.

Selphy is a really fun/casual printer to use. Till today I've not regret owning one. It's convenient enough to bring to parties, events, etc etc so you can print on the spot.

Trust your feeling. They are accurate. The printer manufacturers business model is to subsidize the printer cost and earn it back on the ink. You get the printer below cost, and they slaughter you when you buy the ink.

I am using HP 2060, the cheapest ink available in market. RM27 only for original ink.

hw bout canon? tot canon is da best 1 4 photo printing?

bump for this topic....im lookin for printer also, interested with this Canon MG5370 - just RM499...is it good enuf to print quality photos?

i got the Epson TX720 Artisan 720 one at home, awesome output but pricy if compare when print at shop. Good thing its a wireless all in 1 printer + dedicated photo output. Uses 6 different ink cartridge rather than normal 3in1 color and black.

im using epson l200 bought from pc fair.so far printing photo using esyink premium glossy paper produce good photo.i jus haven figure it out how to print the photo on 4r when wan print the photo looks like oversize

hello,

its 2013. any new printer out there is good to print photo at affordable cost?

hi all, need to know what is the best too??

thanks in advance.

cheers .

2013/2014 no new good printers for photo printing at home ?

Print Scan Copy Fax your photo in A3 and frame it on your wall.

A4 is just too small

Epson is always known as the best printer for photography printing. For cheaper ink but good quality picture I would recommend to go with L210 tank series or if you serious about printing L800 is a goood choice. Match it with ESYINK Premium High Gloss you'll get an excellent print out image.

thanks bor for the info.. at least can saving money for an ink..

canon selphy

portable yet affordable ~ XD i used it before~

epson r3000 or canon pro-1

http://www.photographyblog.com/category/Printers

Yes, this is the one I got. Prints gorgeous A3 photos. Only downside is it takes huge space on your desk and it's bloody heavy.

So I resorted to putting the printer in my daughter's room and connect it via network LAN.

any inexpensive photo printer for 4R and below around rm200-300 range?

Where can i find CISS for pro-100? Because initially think to buy L800 but will consider Pro-100 if can found refill.

Canon Selphy series? Maybe slightly over budget.

Hmmm, I think if you look around, you can find CISS for the PRO-100.





Generally, a lot of people say this is not recommended. I think based on pass experience and from what other systems have turned out to be, complications arise due to the space required. If I'm not wrong, the printer stops printing when you open the cover. The tiny flexible tubing is pretty sensitive also seeing that they must flex and bend as the printhead moves back and forth. But from the above pics, it looks neat and looks like it would work nicely with the cover closed and without complications. But then again, it's new and untested.

Anyway the general advise would be to use back and refill the original empty ink cartridge and a CLI-42 chip resetter to reset the ink levels.

Thanks for the infor..
any shop to recommend? i Plan to buy a printer before CNY.
If not will go to lowyat to survey 1st, if can't find refill for pro-100 maybe will buy L800.

Hp inkadvantages are very affordable ink, rm27 or rm37 depend on model

SRP is RM 1038. Bought mine at All IT in IPC. It was RM 100 less than retail if not wrong.

I've looked around and bigger computer shops don't carry them. I think very hard to sell item such a bulky A3 printer. I believe if you go to Canon official shop (1 Utama or Mid Valley), you can find them. Contemplated buying it at 1U at first. Price was also cheaper than SRP by RM 100 if I'm not wrong.

Just book 1 unit and hopefully can take before CNY. And also emailed precision colors for the refill kit. Hopefully it can ship to malaysia..

Congrats. Where did you book your printer?

lelong.com

http://www.precisioncolors.com/PC42cref.html
they provided shipping to malaysia..plan to order 16oz for try 1st..

Thanks for the info. How much is shipping to MY?

25USD for 16oz..USD60 for 32-64oz.

too waste to use Pro-100 for print documents.
Have to find a cheap aio printer for my wife to use. any recommendation?

finally, faster than I expected..

Nice. I assume you got your printer already?

yes. got the printer before CNY..superb printing quality..
i like the printer head concept which can take out to replace if spoil..
from the precision manual also mention that can wash the printer head using water..

Hi,

Any recommended printing shop in KL to print photo taken from phone camera?

How much shop is charging roughly for it?
