53457 2002-06-09 11:35:00 I have a digital camera and wish to print the odd photo.Ihave an inkjet printer which prints OK but the cost of cartridges addup(refills too) and I am considering purchasing a laser printer. Am I on the right track here as I can use it for other jobs as well.It appears that inkjet prints will fade in light given time. I am prepared to pay more for the initial cost of the printer rather than the cost of the consumables. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I did a quick search of ascent.co.nz and the cheapest was ~$3200.

Quite a few photoshops will print images from disk.

Remember that most colour chemistry produced prints from mini-labs and the like will fade in sunlight also.

Inkjets will do a good job with the right dpi setting and paper but you do need to justify the expense.
