Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / November 2005Which stand-alone printer
A relative wants a stand-alone (i.e. not PC- connected) photo printer for use with their digital camera, for Christmas Budget GBP 100-150 . Any advice/ recommendations pointers to FAQs/ comparisons, please? I'm concerned about ongoing costs of paper and ink; as well as usability. What do 100+ models have over the Lexmark P4330 or P4350 at 69.99 (Argos WH Smith, etc.)?

A friend of mine had a Lexmark all in one - when the ink ran out, the cost for 2 new ink cartridges was something like 70 UKP :-( SignatureNeil Barker >> A relative wants a stand-alone (i.e. not PC- connected) photo printer >> for use with their digital camera, for Christmas Budget GBP 100-150 .

There is no way you have friends.

I don't know much about standalone printers Andy, but I have an old Epson C60 that I refill with Printrite ink which costs about £4 for both colour and black and white. That's for the pair, not each. And the results are excellent /on the right paper/[1]. Just need to find a good cheap source of that. For a new printer, you may have warranty issues with other ink, or alternatives may not be available. [1] Mail me with your address and I'll send you a sample if you like[2] [2] Good to see you around again. SignatureGeoff Berrow (put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies.

Good results, *but* awesomely expensive cartridges,almost certainly because its much more difficult IME to buy OEM cartridges for Lexmark, compared to Canon and Epson. Even if you wouldnt buy OEM cartridges, the prices of the manufacturers own are influenced by their availability.

I have the R200 (which does not have card slots) and it produces superb results. -- Woody harrogate2 at ntlworld dot com > A relative wants a stand-alone (i.e. not PC- connected) photo printer > for use with their digital camera, for Christmas Budget GBP 100-150 .
