Last night (9th August 2010) The Gadget Show on Channel 5 did a review of Photo Printers and if your thinking about buying one it is well worth watching.
They took 10 Inkjet Photo Printers and printed the same photograph on each machine, the photograph used was taken by Martin Brent (world renowned photographer), then Martin and Jon Bentley whittled the list down to 5 printers based on the best photo quality.
The top 5 printers were then put into order decided by the running cost, the top 5 were as follows:
1. Kodak ESP3250
2. Lexmark Interact S605
3. Canon PIXMA IP4700
4. Epson Stylus Photo P50
5. Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW
The Gadget Shows no. 1 Photo Inkjet Printer was the Kodak ESP3250, they were more than happy with the print it produced but what really made it stand out was that the running costs were “less than half the price of it’s nearest rival”.
