Hi.. need an advice..

which is good to print my photo

1. selphy or eqv type (using sub-dye type)
2. ink jet - canon pixma, epson. etc

my consideration (top order first)- low cost-quality-size of print out

i use to have selphy canon printer. but i drop it and damage..( at 69c per pc.. it quite reasonable.. sometime i'm damn lazy to go to photo print shop + personal picture

i also use to have a canon ip600 (if i'm not mistaken) few years back.. and the ink drain quite fast...

so suggest me with the model ,price and why..

thanks

my neighbour using a 4 ink epson printer...cheap cheap one...about rm300 only... the photo quality wasnt that bad also lar...
thats why it was enticing enough to resist...
i also wanna find one printer for photograph...
reasonable quality and low cost....
anybody recommend?

I think interm of printing quality.. normal home printer cant match with printing outside at printing shop. Photos printed outside..can feel a layer of protection... which prevent the photo from sticking together.. and i believe these photos can preserve d colour for more years compare to what we print at home.

But the problem with printing outside is..You always not able to get the exact colours-saturation-contrast of what u seen in ur monitor/ or wat u want it to be... Most important is...remind the printing ppl.. "DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING TO D PHOTO" Smtime is their job to edit photos for ppl...and extremely hate it..

Even if they din edit the photo.. Straight away print.. also wont get what we want most of the time.. I have extremely horrible experience..where i have to reprint the whole 100 pieces of photos all over again..bcause d photos printed r so BAD~.. After trying out different places..i stick to Fotoshangrila.... their printing r d closest although the image are slightly HIgh contrast..

Sorry..i din really answer ur question which printer is good... I personally using canon IP 4000... good printer which last me quite a long time.. but again.. photopaper makes a huge difference too..

hm...
how bout if its our computer monitor that isnt calibrated with their printer ler? how do we know where the problem is from wor...
how much is your canon IP 4000? the printing quality?

My SOHO printing solutions:-

1. Canon IP 4000 For 4R/A4 and Canon IX4000 for A3
2. Hot & Cold A3 Laminator Machine so I could laminate the photo either doing it the hot way or cold.

My mobile in the car/outdoor printing:-
1. Canon Shelphy CP710 for 4R and Canon IP4000 for A4
2. 150w DC to AC Car Adaptor to power my laptop & printers

You can try Epson Inkjet printer the R series model with 6 ink cartridge.
If you want to save cost use CISS for large volume printing.

I have notice some shops printing passport photos using this Epson R series printer with CISS.

i love my selphy.. it got last layer laminated to protect the print out

how about the price of ink? that really my main issue..

i learn one thing new.. laminated the print out.. mm interested.. thanks

can i get average rm0.70 - RM0.80 per print out (4R)?

canon / epson/ hp ? i saw a separate tank used at lowyat but i can remember the price

rm0.7 sen per pic?
that means its more expensive than the shop kah?
my neighbour said he prints roughly bout rm0.30 per pic...
i not quite sure also...

i'm using the Epson CX5500. i have another experiment coming for photo-printing. stay tuned!

using dye sub printer (Selphy).. it will cost u around RM0.69 and it fix.. u bought the paper+the ink film
for printer.. it will vary depend on the color use..

it true that the shop serve more cheap than home printing..

0.30.. maybe he use draft quality?
