Good low-priced photo printer

Worst printer I've ever owned
2007-09-10And I've owned many. I've had this printer for almost a year now. It was OK at first although it didn't print well on certain types of paper regardless of the settings. That was disappointing but I thought I could live with that. About 3 - 4 months into owning it, problems began. And I didn't learn about the problem because I didn't have a need to print more than one document at a time. Naturally when I really need this thing to be dependable, it isn't, like now. I don't print large quantity often but when I do, I want my printer to work and work as well as the manufacturer claims. Whenever I need to print a fairly large job (for an injet, that means about 10, right now I cannot get beyond 2 without a problem), by the time it prints the third copy, blue is green, or maybe it's pink, or I get a rainbow effect. Needless to say, I waste good paper and lots of ink. And yes, of course I check to see if all the ink cartridges are full before embarking on such jobs. So I have to do a deep cleaning after every two docs printed, and even that doesn't always work the first time. It has taken me two days now to print 25 documents.
When it does print well, however, it prints very well, but what good is it if a quality print is a crapshoot with this thing? Perhaps I got a defective printer, but who would take back a printer you've had for 3 - 4 months, without a box? It seems today, although we pay less for technology, we also receive less in quality too.

Wonderful printer
2007-07-26I can't complain. It's a wonderful printer. Pictures aren't too great w/ the aftermarket ink, but it worked great w/ their ink. It serves my purposes as I'm not into making fab pics.
Edit 1/20/2008
Well, the blue ink doesn't work. The little white thing in the ink holder gets full of blue ink and I have to constantly wash it out. I got myself a used b&w hp laser and it's been my main printer since.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Finding the Right Digital Camera

Finding the Right Digital Camera
The overall goal of the Imaging Resource website (www.imaging-resource.com) is to help people chose and use digital imaging technology as effectively as possible. As simple as they are to use, choosing the right digital camera involves a number of decisions. Key issues are computing platform, image quality, onboard image capacity, exposure versatility, feature set, and included software. In this article, we'll lead you step-by-step through some of the issues to consider in making a purchase decision, and at the same time, suggest some things to look for in the test images we've collected on our website.
