Printer for photos

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.



Need a cheap printer that I can print to from a mobile to print photos. Not looking for anything expensive as these photos aren't important and I won't be printing a high volume of these maybe 10 per week.



Be useful if it could print A4 normal stuff from Word too.



Can anyone recommend a model and advise approx price?



Thanks
Titch :)

    Printers can be very cheap nowadays but if you are printing photos its the ink that is the issue as you will be using LOTS of it.

    Personally I think you need to be looking at ink costs along with printer cost.

  • Another option for photos could be places like Boots, Tesco etc where you can use their machines to print from your phone.

    Appreciate that may not be practical for everyone.

    Most printers, even the cheapest ones can print excellent pictures these days but the ink costs are high.


    That's why I always put a CISS ink system in any new printer I buy. The refills are cheap but just make sure you don't buy the cheapest ink you can find, make sure you get reviews on whatever model of ink system you buy.
