Edit: apparently, my husband was mostly considering a thermal printer. Anyone have knowledge about those specifically?
I guess he was thinking I would get a thermal printer to do anything up to around 8X10 so I can keep up with album prints, and then continue sending out for wall art. (which lets face it- I don't print wall art very often- the biggest print on my walls right now are 8x10)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've mentioned before, that I am absolutely terrible about printing pictures. Really, I just forget to find the time to upload them and send them off. (I try to do it after midnight when our internet is unlimited) Please don't ask me how far behind I am.
DH has been suggesting that we just invest in a nice photo printer so I can print as I go. He is thinking we can spend somewhere between $1,000-$1,500 or so if we decide to do it.
So I have a few questions
A) is the quality of a nice photo printer comparable to say MPIX, or at least costco?
B) Do you at least break even on the cost over time? (Assuming you add shipping fees onto your estimate for mail order print services?)
C) are there any benefits or drawbacks I may not have yet considered?
D) can you recommend a specific printer, or give me any insights in what I should consider when choosing one?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
