Which would you buy for photos the 850 or 950.

The i950 is noticeably better, although the i850 is no slouch,
especially since it only uses four colours.

does the extra ink cartridge

Yes, there are two extra ink tanks in the i950, for a total of six
colours. They are photo magenta and photo cyan, which are lighter
colours which provides finer detail and shading in photos.

Have a look at this review to see a comparison of various 4 and 6 colour
printers:

Note that 850 has bigger black ink than 950, which has same size as all
other colors (850 has almost twice as big). But if you refill, it doesn't
mean much anyway.

For photos, the i950 will give you the better quality output.

If you are printing mostly photos, go with the 950. If you print more
documents and seldom pictures, get the 850.
