I use my Epson printer for most things. I really don't end up printing that many true photographs. I do print pictures on cards alot. Make all my own Xmas, birthday all holiday cards for family, with picutres of my kids. These are many times printed just on bright white paper, not photo paper.

I also do pictures for the wall, and many times pictures with frames and glass do not need photo paper. It's more a matter of learning what your printer is capable of.

Using an Epson Stylus Photo 925. Excellent photo prints but not nearly as fast as the Canon's (though contrast is much better on the Epson IMO)

I use a Canon i850, its great, i suppose the newer models are only better though!!

The other day I went samsclub.com and ordered prints I just selected pics from my hard drive I uploaded them and then went to my local sams club and picked them up. The prints were 35mm quality and I didn"t have to waste my ink in my hp officejet. The price was very reasonable.

For day to day printing, or for photo projects, I use my HP Photosmart 7760. For larger print jobs, for example, following a family vacation or Christmas, I send my photos through walmart.com and pick them up an hour later. .19 a piece, you can't beat that. It is a heck of a lot cheaper than running it through my printer. I haven't had the cajones to send my pictures through an on-line mail service though. You never know who you are sending pictures of your babies to!

I've never really seen inkjet output that appealed to me--except maybe quad black on heavy rag paper--and I've got enough cantankerous machinery in my life.

For quick prints I go to Target.

For decent quality and a wider range of papers I use mpix, ofoto or ezprints, depending on who has the better pricing and fit to the media and sizes I want that day.

For the stuff where my original has more resolution than the mass market online places provide I get 400dpi Lightjet output from www.reedphoto.com in Denver.

I keep meaning to try the quad black piezography prints from West Coast Imaging. I really like their samples, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I also keep meaning to try the digital to b&w fiber paper via Durst Lambda from http://elevatordigital.ca/ but they're seriously expensive--$40 for an 8x10. I mean, it makes sense they're expensive, archival processing of fiber paper is a lot of trouble, but sheesh...

All of these (except the untried piezography from WCI) are traditional light-exposed paper processes.

Now a days I use a digital picture frame rather than print

Hello:

I own a printing company and could do the prints very cheaply but I will say the products at Target & Walmart are pretty good and cheap. You just have to deal with the less than friendly workers(Walmart).
