Epson Stylus Photo R800 vs. HP Photosmart 8450

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi,

I have to buy a Photo printer and i am not sure which is the best one
between Epson R800 and HP Photosmart 8450.
HP have the smart card reader, even if i don't use it a lot.

According to you, which printer is better in order to print my photos?


Thanks

Duplex printing is of NO use in a photo printer! I would say the same for
the dual feeds! While I do like Canon printers,I own the i9900,those are not
relevant strengths to a photo printer.The ip8500 is faster than most
printers,and does do a nice job on photos.I bought the Epson R800,because of
the CD printing,and pigment inks.As for card readers,I prefer the small
stand alone readers.I do several hundred photos a week with my card readers.
