Photographs are "continous tone" and do not use "dots" or the phrase "dpi". The colours are solid. Look through a loupe.

Depends how they are output, if they are output via a con-ton process then they are - (however resolution still comes into play for the image to be output), but they can also be output using high end inkjets or laser processes.

I recently bought it, but I have noticed you can only use bog standard paper in it (i did think I knackered it as I shoved some high gramme matt paper through as a test and it got jammed!!!). And how would it compare to taking your photos to be printed at the machines in ASDA/TESCO.

BTW I like it for general printing and was only 100quid at staples, and more economical for general letter printing ect and came with good starter toner.

An colour inkjet will output better quality photos than a laser of this type. Most good inkjets can product a better quality photographic print than a low-mid range colour laser.

Isofar is spot on with this one, a laser printer is good for basic graphics but not photos. For that you need a dye-sub printer or an inkjet printer.

BTW Shadowdragon, printing your own photos works out expensive and time consuming, and no better than the professional labs. 4x6" photo paper costs around 10p per sheet, and Boots will produce 150 or more prints for 6p each. Not so much of a problem to print them yourself if you just want a few done quickly of course.
