I have a friend who has a wife who wants to print out 3x5s and 4x6s

She has a sony camera, but any photo printer will do.

She doesn’t want a full size printer. Just a picture one.

Anyone have any recommendations?

:word: I _think_ I have the same one (looks the same) and it works great.

The only thing to remember is that it can’t print in SuperFine mode (Again, I can’t remember exactly and I’m too lazy to get it out and look) if the pictures are printed from a computer - you need to take the images right from the memory stick and hook the printer to a TV to get the best quality image. And the pics are as good if not better than the ones you’d develope at a store.

Epson is nice. I like the Canon Pixma series. Great on ink, and lab quality pics. I have the IP4000. They are a discontinued model, but the series in whole is great.

this is actually the most economic solution.

but if she’s insisting to have the convenience of printing out homemade porn at home, I would recommend going with a full size machine since they’re cheaper to run per print as opposed to a specialized 4x6 printer.

i can’t more highly recommend the epson r220/320 family of printers. excellent photo quality considering you can get the r220 from sam’s club for like 80 bucks.
