Daughter's coming back from Japan with 100s of photos & is looking for portable photo printer. I've been out of the printing biz for ~20+ years so I'm reaching out here for recs.
From her:
"I'm mainly looking for scrapbooking reasons, so small prints I can print multiple images onto one print(like 2-3 images on a 6"x4")".
Looking for something that could handle sticky-back & possibly archival stock.
Difficulty: No HP #printers if possible
P.S. I'm pretty familiar with general printing terminology & processes. Just haven't kept up with the current brands available. I used to run the fine arts (Giclée, Iris) dept. in a digital repro/pre-press house in a past life for a few years. So, I can guide her on some large-format choices.
So, this would be for slightly above hobbyist output. Let me know what better questions I need to be asking. Thanks!
Great questions. Colour fidelity is important(budget allowing for now & I'd give her a bit o' shit if it wasn't. 🤣 ).
She's a physical & digital artist(painting, woodcuts, lino, pen & ink, comic, etc). So, it would be another long term tool in her arsenal going forward. An investment.
@kevinbowen In that case I'd look a bit higher (again, Keith Cooper has assembled enough resources to make your eyes bleed) - I'm considering an Epson P900 (pigment inks, handles heavy stock, large ink reservoirs - but not as heavy as the P5370) as a good compromise. Basically, Canon or Epson have the best support, ICC profiles, etc. Good luck!
