But if you’re not yet shooting in raw format and you’re relying on a point-and-shoot camera, this type of printer is probably more powerful than you need. If you’re already shooting with a DSLR or a high-end mirrorless camera, a dedicated photo printer will show off your camera’s capabilities by translating the high dynamic range and sharp detail of your images to paper. Impressive images produce impressive results.Having excellent Wi-Fi truly becomes a factor if you need to house your printer in another part of your office or home.
Erin has a fairly substantial home desk, and although she technically could squeeze any of these printers alongside her desktop computer, doing so would feel extremely crowded. Epson recommends leaving another 13 inches behind the printer when you’re using the front paper feed. (Only her flat-screen TV is larger.) When fully extended, each printer takes up even more space: With the Epson P700, a top (rear) paper-feed support adds another 10 inches in height and 4 more inches in depth, and an output tray extends the footprint of the P700 by another 11.5 inches. At 20.3 by 14.5 by 7.3 inches, our top pick is the smallest model we looked at, and it’s still one of the largest electronic items in Erin’s house. Producing a high-quality print, especially if you want to experiment with unusual paper stock and sizes, means ensuring your monitor is color calibrated, installing ICC profiles, and possessing the patience for lots of trial and error, which costs both time and money. If you’re not yet familiar with the art of printing, beware of a learning curve.If you’re a casual hobbyist and you only occasionally want to print family photos and a large landscape or two, you’ll save money, time, and effort by using a professional printing service instead. And then there are the paper costs and, of course, your time.
At this writing, our top pick costs $800, and a full set of replacement inks runs $380.
