I have an HP photosmart, which I have been very happy with. However they stopped making this model. Whatever you get, make sure you use photo quality ink, photo settings and good paper - makes a big difference in how the pictures look and last!

I have the KODAK Easy Share All in one Printer and love it. It prints professional quality photos. Even my heritage photos turn out great. I hope this helps

I just got the Kodak ESP-7. It uses pigment ink and the photos are supposed to last about 200 years. I am very happy with the quality of the photos. I framed a lot of photos and gave them as Christmas gifts. The ink refills are very reasonable-around $15 for the color and $9 for the black. HTH

I have the Epson stylus Photo 320 and have been thrilled with it. The ink is very reasonably priced, dh buys it online. and the quality is great. I can't recommend it enough.

I adore my HP photosmart all in one printer. It makes the best, crispest pictures I've ever seen. Price is reasonable too and the shipping from HP is free for ink refills and they give you coupons with each order.

Ditto!

I love that I have everything in one place---printer, scanner, faxer, copier!
Very pleased.

I have an Epson R1900. I love it!! It will print 12x12 even. The quality is amazing and I use Epson paper so the print life is very long, too. It's not a cheap printer, but it's worth every penny. I got it for my birthday this fall when there was a $150 rebate. Not sure if the rebate is still going or not.

My Kodak is an all-in-one as well. And the ink is incredibly inexpensive--$10 for black and $15 for color. I got a photo package for it at Walmart that had 180 sheets of 4X6 photo paper plus a color cartridge for only $18!
