Which Photo Printer?

Can anyone recommend a good A4 photo printer up to around £300

I've been looking at Epson Expression or a Canon Pixma with 6 inks but there's so many variations.

Don't need scan, copy, fax, just a quality print job....

I recently picked up one of the Pixma's for light home and office use. Looks quite sexy, does edge to edge photo printing, decent speeds on monocrome, double sided printing, ethernet and wifi and airprint (i.e. print direct from ipad or iphone). It doesn't mind getting through ink, but the quality is good with 6 or so inks you only change the ones you are caning. There's also a dedicated big black tank for text printing.

 

It was easy to setup, the touchscreen is passable, I think you can print remotely over the web (not tried it yet) scanning and copying are a bonus too. Really like it and it's not given me any aggro so far. The downside, it takes a while to warm up from off and it's quite noisy on full chat. There's a chunk of bloatware that comes with it, but you can strip most of it off.

I suppose they're all much of a muchness at that price, until you get up to the 9 ink A3 pro printers. I just wish they'd make a dedicated photo printer at a reasonable price without all the other extraneous stuff they add on which I dont need.

Check out the PC Pro A List and reviews, they're usually pretty good, but they don't always have a review of the latest printers.
