Photo Printer Recomends?


Left

Recommended Posts

So I love photos. I also really, really like having them in my hand vs only on my phone. It's just a personal preference thing.
I know I can go to walmart and get my photos printed out there, but it feels like such a pain, and I would like something easier than that.
I'm looking for a home photo printer, preferably small. It doesn't have to be wifi connected, cords aren't expensive and I probably have whichever one I need anyway. I really don't need anything but a photo printer, but if it happens to print normal things it's not a deal breaker in any way.
Do any of you have a recommendation that fits that description that's under about $90?

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea how much this printer costs in US or wherever you live. In Poland it was worth $96.

 

My parents have recently bought Canon PIXMA MG 5750. While I was helping them with setting it up we've printed a photo to try it out, as there was a sample piece of glossy photo paper included in the box. I have to say I was surprised by the quality of said photo. The colours were vivid, all borders were sharp. Only difference between the photo we printed and one that we'd receive from a photo booth was that ours had some 5mm white margins (that you can obviously just cut). 

 

Apart from the nice quality of the print, there are three more things I really liked about this printer:

1. It looks nice ;)

2. It has a screen, which allows you to use it without turning your computer on.

3. It has 5 separate ink cartridges! That is very important, as it allows you to replace only the colors that you've run out, and not the whole set of them, like is the case with some other printers. I think you'll find it very beneficial, as you'll probably use up your colour ink pretty fast while printing photos.

 

Other info, that you probably don't care about or is unimportant:

1. It has a scanner on top of it.

2. There are 2 versions of cartridges you can use. Normal ones and XL ones, google around to find prices.

3. It can be connected wirelessly or by USB cable. You'll need USB-A (male) to USB-B (male) cable.

4. It's available in at least 2 colors (black and white) :P I'm not sure but there may be red too.
