    A decent photo printer for under £100

    Anyone know of, or have one?

    My dad has bought 2 printers off people from work in the past and they've been fucking pathetic at doing anything other than gather dust and give errors.

    I think £100 is a decent price seeing as my dad is offering to pay.

    I'm not expecting a photo-quality like you'd get professionaly but anything close-to will be good. Also ink cartridge price would be a buying factor.

    Photo printing is an absolute ball-ache.

    I've abandoned inkjets now, every one I've ever seen has broken.

    I now use a £60 Samsung laser for blasting out text when I need it, and photobox.co.uk for top-quality photo printing - starts at around 5p a print I think.

    I forgot to mention that I will be mainly using it to print dvd/game covers. It's my dad who said 'oh aye get a photo printer with a card reader..'

    I have every single UFC cover to print off. That's why ink costs are important :)

    Me neither.. i dunno what to look for really. It's been so long since I bought anything for my computer that everything seems 10 generations ahead of what it was.

    I'm favouring Epson atm cos I've read some good reviews on their printers and ink seems to be economical.
