Debby A. Tabb		kell, please look at teh epson line for some of the finest photo quality printers made for the public: the R320 wonderul printer for under200.00 I own 4 of them. the R800 uses dye not ink, for quality prints for a lifetime. it's all in the dpi. I do hope this helps, Debby Tabb To love this comment, log in above September 04, 2006

robert G. Fately		Kelly, you don't mention what size photos you wish to print, but I can suggest the Kodak 1400 dye sublimation printer - this is primarily made for event photographers (like wedding, reunion, graduation, etc) who like to be able to sell up to 8x10 photos at the venue. There are pros and cons to each technology (inkjet versus dye sub) so perhaps a better understanding of your goals will help. To love this comment, log in above September 05, 2006

Debby A. Tabb		deffinatly do your home work before your purchase. I use the R300 (R340 now) on On Site Jobs they are well made and light wieght and do the job easily. I have had them for 2 years now and the prints last. here is a link to the R340 on the Epson site ( look there for a link to it's info page) http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=58654762 The R1800 is the Dye mashine and here are it's specs and a link to one on Ebay: Product Description Taking Epson's award-winning technology one step further, the Epson Stylus Photo R1800 quickly creates large, archival quality glossy and matte photos worthy of display. Experience the rich, true-to-life colors and subtle detail that's evident in every image.
