Ink Jet (small, cheap, and slow)
Inexpensive ink jet printers ($300 to $1000) can produce remarkably good quality
photographs if you choose your paper carefully. These prints can also be archival if
you choose your ink carefully. Epson and Canon typically make the best ink-jet
printers for photographers. The Canon S800, for example is a good low-cost
machine (about $300). The Epson Stylus Photo 2000P, about $750, offers
Pigmented Archival Ink, good for making prints that can last 100 years, i.e., five
times as long as a Genuine Kodak Paper print and almost twice as long as a
standard print on Fuji paper. For the best user interface, look at the Kodak Personal
Picture Maker 200 (PPM200; about $150). This printer includes an LCD screen
