Question to ameture photo people
Myself

Posted on 03/30/2024 8:05:06 PM PDT by wgmalabama

I purchased a decent network laser printe earlier this year and it’s been great. . It’s been great. Now we have grandkids and I learn that inkjet printers do a much better job of printing pictures. So I am looking for recommendations for network inkjet photo printers. My last one sucked (10 years ago) ate ink and never operated well. I figured there were some ameture photography people that could recommend a good network printer for pictures. The laser will handle everything else. One that works with apple/MS os would be great.

Anyone have a good recommendation that doesn’t just freeze up, eat ink …. Any help would be appreciated. Price in the up to $600 or more is ok. Less is better because wife will be printing like crazy.

It never dawned on me that inkjet would be better than laser at anything. But apparently photos is that one key area.

There is a whole science/slash art form in color printing, that involves color matching and profiles. It is very complex if you get into the weeds, but the basic goal is to have your prinyed results match the image you see on your monitor.

Your wife is correct however. If the image is good enough to print, you should try to make the best print possible. You can choose to make it frustrating, or a worthwhile learning experience. Enjoy the journey!
