Printer Question

[ernie.grimes]

I am interested in purchasing a printer and software that would enable me to

process and print 4X6, 5X7 and 8X10 pictures on site at ball games, school

activities, church functions, and holidays at the mall. Can someone tell me

what they are using to perform this type of work.

Thanks Ernie

Do a search on this forum, discussed many times.

 

Dye-sub comparisons are here, also a great place to buy. Most pros avoid inkjet on site due to slow speed and dust problems. They are cheaper by far though.

Inkjets are too slow, you'd need 10 of them to keep up.

Also, Consumer Search is a good resource, taking reviews from a myriad of sources and then selecting the best of the best based on which items had the most other reviewers giving it good scores:

Like most anything else, the answers will change five minutes after someone posts the current best, as new and improved machines are constantly being released.
