About products and suppliers

A photo printer is usually an inkjet printer, although it can be a thermal dye printer, which can print high-quality digital photos and other vibrant color projects. The appeal of being able to print pictures instantly, along with the drop in digital camera prices, has enticed many people to purchase an instant photo printer. Before that, these types of printers were larger, more expensive, and generally used only by professionals. Although a small photo printer can be more expensive than a regular inkjet and may not print as quickly, they’re ideal if you want instant pictures and a variety of creative options.

What are the features of photo printers?

Picture printing can either be a printer dedicated to printing photos alone, or it can be a printer that can print photos as well as other types of documents. Professional photo printers differ from other printers because they have more color cartridges, which allow for a wider range of hues and tones, and some even contain special photo ink. Although all inkjet printers technically can print photos, not all inkjets have the quality or variety of options that professional photo printers offer.

A portable photo printer is simple to move about and is not computer-dependent. Equipped with slots for reading digital media cards, or memory cards, these wireless photo printers also typically have parallel and USB ports. It’s rare for a portable photo printer 4x6600 to come with connection cords, so it’s wise to know what you'll need before you hit the store. Most home photo printers have editing functions such as red-eye removal, border options, and creative coloring effects such as creating sepia and black-and-white photos.

What to look for when shopping for a photo printer

When shopping for a home photo printer, it’s important to make sure it can produce large prints or small prints as needed. Without requiring a lot of ink or expensive equipment, the best photo printer can create medium to big prints at home. Print resolution is another important consideration. Resolution is measured using DPI (dots per inch). In general, the more information the finished prints include and the less noticeable the dots are, the higher the DPI.
