I know this is an unusual thread but I need a photo printer. Basically I have a business where I sell people photos and I have to print anywhere from 15-60 photos a night (sometimes more under special events). The problem is that the printers I have used often get problems with them. Ink gets clogged or that they print a bit too slow. I've gone through four different types of printers and none did the trick.

I need something:

- That prints BORDERLESS photos
- Can handle printing a large amount of photos a night
- Good picture quality, specifically for well pictures
- Is faster than your average photo printer
- Reliable

Any suggestions?

Nobody?

I would like to know this too. Apparently Canon and Epson ones are good.

Reliable? That would be none.

I don't know if it does photos the way you want, but the HP OfficeJet Pro X series is damn fast due to being page-wide array printers (the print head covers the entire width of the page). They give you all the benefits of inkjet with the speed of laser, but less than what it costs to run a laser. Plus since it's inkjet, you can put glossy paper through it without worrying that it will jam up the fuser or whatever.

If you don't want to shell out a lot of bucks this was a great printer.

That unit can and most likely will lock-up, so if you get it, make sure you go on their website and do the firmware update.

The Canon one I had was a total piece of shit.

My Epson was only kind of a piece of shit, as it at least lasted 2 years of light-medium use before getting chucked into the garbage.

I honestly haven't had any positive experiences with photo printers.

I have an Epson 3880 and love it, it's had no reliability issues whatsoever in the 2 years I've had it. Maybe the people who are saying all photo printers are crap just don't have the budget for a decent one.

NECRO BUMP!

Black Friday is coming & I went through 3 different HP inkjet printers, THREE OF THOSE FUCKERS! All broken, except for the last one, which only now prints black ink.
Right now it seems easier & cheaper to buy a completely new printer during the Black Friday sales then buying a new set of hp compatible ink cartridges!

I want to buy a Laser printer this time, but don't want to spend $300 that they seem to be going for at the cheapest.

Staples looks to be one of the few places with some decent sales on printers, Do any of these $99 & under Laser Printers actually print in color or are they all in B & W?

Does anyone know of any other Black Friday deals on printers, preferably on cheap color laser printers?
