I'm after a new printer. It will be used mainly for printing photo's. Mostly 6x4 but some A4 ones will be done no doubt.

Anyone got any recommendations? I don't need it to have a scanner or photocopier, but I do want it to replace my existing printer, so it will still need to do normal A4 stuff as well.

Cheers!

I didn't buy them, my old school did, and about 4 out of 10 broke in a year, so they just got a laser.

HP's are good but can be a tad expensive. I would go for a canon and avoid epsons, especially the one reccomended by da staffie, as thats nearly £30 more than oter retailers. The SR-mark up strikes again

Ive always wondered how you print on printable DVD's. Ive got a pack of them, but have to write on them with a pen.

As for printeer recomendations... Ive got an Epson Stylus C62, not designed for photos mind. Its kind of unpredictable. When its having a good day it will print really well, even photos. But when its having an off day it can do some shody printing and occasionaly does text below parr. My one word review of Epson:- Unreliable. Oh, and the whole menu system installed in Spanish too. Which was probably my fault, but its still a bad point.
Id get a new printer myself but Ive got enough spare ink cartridges to last me for another year at least.

Epson stylus photo 950 is ace. You can also print onto printable dvd's with it, very useful if you like that sort of thing.
