Can you recommend a good printer

Anyone recommend a printer that can produce high quality pictures from a digital camera .

I've only ever had my photos printed at the chemist using camera film so it's my first time using a home printer .

I use one of these with a continous ink kit.

Nice printer and very good scanner.

I've got one of these

It has a built in card reader that can handle many popular memory card formats as used in digital cameras. So you don't need a computer or anything to run off a few prints. Just take the memory card out of the camera bung it in the printer and Robert is your Father's brother as they say

how many prints are you talking about ?

If its just a few you are better off getting them printed online. They use printers that cost thousands and use ink that does not fade as easily.

far better than faffing about with special coated papers and ink carts and ink heads which clog due to lack of regular use.

Thanks chris. I know you can get them printed commercially but I want to try a home printer.
