Ok I need a printer so I can print 8x10 or 5x7 photos on the locations of horse shows...
Ofc I need something that will fit in my Hyundai Accent :p and won't cost 1000$ and more...
But I need something that will print good quality...
I have no clue about anything regarding printers, so I'm asking here prior to look into stores...
Thanks in advance for your help!

I bought the epson styles photo 1400 to print my portfolio and it prints out AMAZING quality photos. You can do full bleed 13x19" too. I also use Red River matte and glossy paper cuz it's super cheap but very high quality.

Can't help you much here! But make sure it's a laser one? I think laser works better & faster. Maybe I'm wrong though. I have a small small printer that can only print 4 x 6 and it works great! It's a Canon and it uses ribbon type ink to make the picture. Literally ribbon - when I take the cartridge out, I can unroll the ribbon and have fun with it :lol:

I heard Epson was very good, as well.


I have searched some people's questions on another forum, if you want to take a look. It's quite interesting

This topic more or less gives you an idea of what you would be getting into I guess? lol I also saw a link in there for a printer.

They mention a few printers in some of the lower comments here, but I do not know how much they are :O

I think for photo it has to be ink, laser is more for office and text (I could be wrong)

Epson has a nice range... I'll see what my budget is in May.. I'll need this for early June..

This one also looks good..

Also has to do with the paper stock. you're going to have to experiment with the new printer you get aswell.
