Printing your own photos

Greetings!
Printing your own photos
...maybe I'll have to eat my words!

You've heard me say in the past that I don't recommend printing your digital photos at home. Photo printing at Wal-Mart or Walgreens is usually around 29 cents apiece. Well, Denver's Channel 9 News this evening reported on a study by Consumer Reports that I found interesting.

Consumer Reports tested 7 photo printers and gave them all high marks. Keep in mind, these are "snapshot" printers (4x6 or 5x7); they don't print 8x10 photos. You would need to do those on your standard ink jet printer. Their report gave the highest marks to two Epson printers costing from $130-180 They quoted the average cost of printing photos at about 25 cents apiece. They are also supposed to be resistant to ink running if the photo gets wet.

Another nice feature of these printers is the ease of connecting them to your camera with a cable or a mounting connection on the printer. You do not even need to use your computer to do it. Click here if you would like to read the report.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
