Choosing the Right Photo Printer
Speed
If you will make a lot of photo prints, the speed of your photo printer will
also be an important factor for you. In that case, get a fast photo printer,
though keep in mind that their prices are higher.
Printing without a PC
If you want to print your digital photos without using a computer, than you
can select one of the photo printers that have this feature. Such photo
printers have memory card slots and most are compatible with the PictBridge
technology. So you can use a PictBridge compatible digital camera and print
directly from these printers.
Paper handling
Also consider the paper handling features of the photo printer when buying
it. How much capacity does it have? Depending on how often you will print,
you can determine how many sheets your photo printer should hold. Usually
personal printers hold 100 to 300 sheets which is quite sufficient. What
kind of media does the photo printer accept? Can it print on thicker papers
for example? Some can print on envelopes. If you are willing to use
different types of media such as postcards, envelopes, glossy photo papers,
transparencies, or iron-on transfer sheets, make sure to get one that
accepts these kinds. Most personal printers handle letter and legal size
paper. Some photo printers also provide double-sided printing.
