"Recommend me a printer?"

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!

Printer brand roundup off the top of my head, from when I was researching printers a year ago:


HP

Good quality text, pretty good quality pictures, very expensive ink


Epson

Good quality text, extremely good quality pictures, expensive ink, have a habit of clogging if you don't use them regularly


Canon

Good quality text + pictures, reasonably priced ink, the printer itself can be expensive though


Lexmark

Lexmark printers have no redeeming features, avoid


I ended up with a Canon somethingorother, it's been used about 4 times since we got it.

You might want to try the HP DeskJet 5740, got this at home and am very pleased with it.
