Reviews of Desktop Photo Printers
Photo printers have made a big splash on the printer scene. They are essentially inkjet printers that use better ink, more color cartridges, and advanced technology to offer quality color printing for photography and other images. Here are reviews of the latest photo printers for your desktop.
What They're Saying About: The Canon Pixma IP6700D
The Canon Pixma IP6700D is a photo printer that not only produces excellent color photos, but it's just plain fun. It offers built-in duplex (two-sided) printing, a memory card reader, Pictbridge printing, and an infra-red connection so that you can transfer photos from your mobile phone (if you have the right model) directly to the printer. The only objection many reviewers had was its text printing, which was not as well received.

Canon Pixma iP6310D Photo Printer
Coming in at a street price of $100, the Canon Pixma iP6310D photo printer compares favorably with higher-priced competition.

What They're Saying About: The Canon Selphy DS810 Photo Printer
Sometimes the same printer can get widely differing reviews. That is the case with the Canon Selphy DS810; while PC Magazine thought it was one of the best ink jet printers you could get for the price, MacWorld felt that there were several printers that surpassed it, and CNET felt the output was mediocre. Everyone agreed, though, that it sells for an excellent price.

Review: Epson Stylus Photo R200
The compact, well-engineered Epson Stylus Photo R200 brings two advantages to the table: it's inexpensive, and it has the ability to print labels directly onto printable CD/DVD discs.

What They're Saying About: The Canon Pixma iP8500 Photo Printer
Canon's latest photo printer gets high marks for speed, color, and print quality; all the reviewers thought that its eight color cartridges did a great job on photos (although one reviewer thought the colors were too vivid, whatever that means). A built-in duplexer makes this also work for general and business printing, and text printing and speed were thought to be fine. The only complaint was that the printer doesn't come with media-card slots, which is unusual for a higher-end photo printer.

What They're Saying About: The Canon I9900 Photo Printer
The i9900 Photo Printer is a high-end large-format machine whose output can rival that of a professional processing lab. It's capable of producing edge-to-edge true borderless prints, from 4 x 6 inches up to 13 x 19 inches, with the look and feel of a traditional photograph.

What They're Saying About: The HP PSC 2175 Photo Printer
Reviewers agreed that the quality of the photos produced by the HP PSC 2175 was excellent, especially when using photo paper. In addition, the four memory-card slots were noted as an advantage.

What They're Saying About: The Epson Stylus Photo R800
Reviewers were highly enthusiastic about the Stylus Photo R800's ability to print sharp, brilliant color photos. The printer has none of the nice extras that other photo printers have, such as the ability to print directly from a camera or memory card, and it prints from a roll, which some users may find disconcerting. However, photo enthusiasts should definitely give this one some consideration.
