    Default Cheap but easy photo printing

    I only have a black and white printer at the moment, but I need to start printing out some photos for learning journals. Can anyone suggest a cheap but decent home photo printer, or suggest the cheapest way to get photos printed quickly and easily?

    i use foto.com for my photos as you will use loads more ink & photo paper than the cost it is for the photos to be developed.

    i just had 156 photos done for £11 including postage,

    asda & tesco do it for slightly more but you can pick them up an hour later aswell
    What a crock!!!

    i have a pogo and also a kodak all in one printer (colour cartridges are £11). They print decent enough photos for the learning journey.

    I have a canon selpy printer - got it second hand from a forum member a couple of years ago

    paper/ink packs are about £27 on Amazon - through forum shop this is for 108 photos - but I print them very small (printer gives a choice) - 8 pics to a 6x4 photo so about 25p for 8 mini pics for LJs - plus outlay for printer of course - and no trips to town standing in Boots for ages, they are instant
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    I have a Kodak all in one colour printer (it prints double sided, scans, photocopies and prints photos) and from what we could find out, Kodak is the best value one on the market in terms of ink cost, use and quality (we didn't have any printer, so I wanted one to do everything!)

    I also have one of these, considering it is a Kodak printer they don't print wonderfully, but good enough for the learning journeys
