Hey,

What is the general opinion of these type of printers? My dad wants to buy one for about £100, but i think the cost of the printer, paper, ink etc could be quite expensive, when you consider that you can take a memory card to Jessops/Tescos or wherever and print off pictures for peanuts.

Answers on a postcard. Actually, it may be more efficient to post them on here.

Cheers.

You have answered your own question if all you want is prints of snapshots. But if like me you want to get involved in image editing such as cropping, enlargements, changes colours and tones etc etc with programmes such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop then not having my own colour printer is an asset that I for one would sorely miss.
