…Some of these ink cartridges are said to last as much as 100 years. Many versions of printers, such as Canon photo printers and HP photo printers, don't need to be connected to a computer to print photos. These printers use memory cards to print digital photos directly from a digital camera. These are sold as compact photo printers. Photo printers also use photo paper, which differs from regular printer paper by being thicker and glossier to look more like a photograph from a film camera. Photos printed from a photo printer can range in size such as wallet sized, 4”x6”, 8”x11” and 10”x14”. Magazines that feature photo printer reviews are Consumer Reports Magazine and PC Magazine. Photo printers can be used in the home to create stationary, greeting cards, photo albums and labels for cds and dvds. Many of these printers are used with a desktop computer. There are also many portable photo printers that fit into laptop computer cases and can be connected directly to a digital camera; although you may need to use a printer and digital camera from the same manufacturer. Prices for photo printers range from as low as $65 to as high as $600. Popular manufacturers of photo printers include Epson, Lexmark and Samsung.
