I need to buy my wife a new printer her old Canon i960 bit the dust yesterday. She prints a lot of photos and scrapbooking stuff. I looked in BB today but all I saw was the 3 in 1's. Does anyone still make a printer for photos?
 
How much are you willing to spend?

Which brands would you prefer/rather avoid?

Would you mind a photo printer with other multifunction features (scan/copy/fax/network)?

Here are two Canon photo printers up for consideration: the $50 iP2600 and the $85 iP4600.
 
I was thinking of spending up to $250. I don't have any companies I wish to avoid, or do I have any preferences. I DO NOT want a 3 in 1 printer. We just don't need the services thye offer. I just want my wife to be able to print very good photos and text.
 
IIRC, Canon, Epson, and HP make good photo printers. Since I haven't used one in a long time, I can't recommend a specific model.
 
Each of those brands makes good printers. I was hoping someone out there had used one of them for printing photos and had good experiences with it. Canon has some printers they say are for photos but are labelled "mobile" printers. I don't mind paying for quality I just don't need anything to go on the road with her.
 
I like the quality of Epsons for photos, but Canon and HP's aren't far off. I hate how Epsons need to be used frequently to prevent the heads from clogging (maybe they've improved on this lately?). IIRC, Canon's heads are on the ink cartridge. I haven't used HPs in a while (since late '90s), so I can't really say much about them. I think I used their small portable one to print photos for a fundraiser during my sister's bball tourney, and those came out quite nice, actually.
