Our Digital Photo Printer and Ink Buyers Guides will help you find the right solutions for your digital photo printing.
Buyer's Guide 2009: Specialty Papers & Inks Experiment with third-party and exotic inkjet media for creative results  Conventional wisdom says that for the best-looking prints, you should stick with your printer manufacturer's papers and inks. It's not bad advice because their printer-software drivers are fine-tuned for those inks and papers to ensure excellent results and print longevity. But if you only print with the standard photo stock, you're missing a chance to make an artistic choice. |

There are several excellent snapshot printers on the market. Most are reasonably priced and easy to use. Many print directly from your camera or memory card, allowing you to make prints without booting up your computer. Some even run on battery power. And all of those that we've included here produce great-looking prints. How to choose, then? |
Buyer's Guide 2008: Papers & Inks Printing your best images with the latest and greatest in inks and papers  The key to making beautiful prints is to choose the best inks and papers. By experimenting with high-quality papers and inks, you can turn your images into printed works of art. The print technology of today has given us the power to make the kind of prints at home that you used to have to go to a professional lab service to achieve. |
Buyer's Guide 2008: Photo Printers Make your best prints in your favorite sizes faster and more easily than ever before  With such a wide range of photo printers on the market today, printing at home is an even more appealing option for getting your digital images out of the camera and onto paper than it has been in the past. |
Buyer's Guide 2006: Inkjet Papers Choosing wisely will enhance the look and longevity of your prints  The final look of your print has everything to do with the paper you place in your printer. Beyond size, the weight, whiteness and surface of a paper all make a dramatic difference in the appearance of color and tone, especially whites and blacks. By carefully selecting paper, you can move beyond merely copying an image and elevate printmaking to a more creative part of your photography. |
