Hi I have around 250 photos I'd like to print in colour on photo quality paper to around A4 size. The photos were take with a Nikon D40 at 3000x2000 resolution. After this the printer will be used simply to print openoffice text documents on standard A4 folios.
What printer would you recommend to do this? Can I do it wiithin a budget of 200 euros if I already have the paper?
On another thread I learned that my HP F2280 was not up to the task.
OS 11.2 under KDE 4.3.5.
Thanks. Lynn x
Lynn, I guess for approx. € 200 you should get quite a nice printer, but which printer is a matter of taste. I personally have very, very good experience with the Epson Stylus Photo printers. The one I use today is more than 5 years old. Never had any problems to use it with Linux. Besides of the printing results I also prefer Epson over HP because of the sound, HPs are very loud with a lot of "klack klack"... (but again: personal opinion only). Ink is not cheap, though. Quality photo printing needs a lot of ink. Consider printing your series thru a printing service, that might even be cheaper than the costs for the ink. If you're in a city I guess there are several services near you. Compare prices and quality (give them 1 file and compare the results). There are also many offers online, mostly with quite good quality.
