Photo Printers for Digital SLR Photography

Share |

The range of photo printers available for today's photographer is vast and caters for every need from beginners to professionals. In the not so distant past, there were various competing printer technologies for photographers to choose from including inkjet, dye sublimation and color laser. Today it is generally recognized that inkjet printers produce the best quality photo prints & are far more versatile than other types of printers which cannot match inkjets on the range of art paper, resolution, speed, printer sizes, cost of prints & advanced menus for output control.

Inkjet technology has reached the stage where most photographers would be happy with both color and black and white prints from any of the major manufacturers including Epson, HP & Canon.

Below is a list of the best photo printers for 2012. The list contains a broad range of best selling photo printers for beginners and the family as well as for more advanced users and professional photographers. It is important to remember that the cost of the printer is only a part of the annual cost of printing at home or work. Other costs such as ink and paper can rise rapidly in a heavy printing environment. For instance children printing out large full color photographs will rapidly deplete the ink cartridges which may only last for 20 or 30 full A4 color photographs. Fortunately many of the compatible ink cartridges available today are of good quality and most important of all, inexpensive compared to the printer manufacturers' own ink cartrigdes.

Photo printing has advanced to a such a high level over the past ten years and even professional photographers are using high end printers such as the Epson R2880 for exhibition quality color and fine art black and white prints.
