A New Inkjet Printer: Coming in Feb. 2004, the
Epson Stylus Photo R800 will use eight individual ink cartridges of "Epson
UltraChrome Hi-Gloss" pigment ink. It is expected to produce prints that will
not fade for at least 80 years. Fading has been a problem for most Ink Jet
printers until recently. The R800 produces the smallest droplets of ink giving
it the highest quality photos of any Epson printer. It will print directly on
ink jet printable CD/DVDs. It is expected to sell for about $399. The three best inkjet printers in the
world: Now that the gift giving season is over perhaps you are
thinking of giving yourself a gift of a new printer. Here are my
choices. The HP
7960 has 8 individual tanks for ink. It prints stunning black and
white photos and gives the best color photos of any HP printer ever made. It
accepts individual digital camera storage cards for direct printing without
using a computer. Sells for about $300.
The Canon i900D
has 6 individual ink tanks and has slots for storage cards from
digital cameras for direct printing without using a computer. Sells for about
$240. The Epson Stylus
photo R800 Which is the best? If you want archival inks and the ability to print on CDs, the Epson. Otherwise I would probably choose the HP. However you can't go wrong with the Canon. Flip a three
