    I have an HP printer. It does pretty good but it's large and bulky. I wouldn't mind as much if it printed larger than an 8x11 page.

    I need wireless and good quality photo prints as I am going to do some pocket page style albums so I'll print photos and digital goods too.

    What printers do you have and love?

    I have a large format Canon that I love - but I got it as part of a photography bundle so I didn't buy it, per se. It's a Pro-100. I'd say Canon and Epson in general seem to produce great quality prints.

    I have an OLD Canon Pixma printer... like a 7120 I think? Yeah I found it HERE. It's discontinued now, but I'm sure they have newer versions available. I've been pretty happy with my printer since I only paid $99 for it and I've been using it for lots of year.

    I have had Epsom and Canon and both are good. Currently I have a Canon Pixma. I haven't checked stores lately but I know they now have printers with refillable ink cartridges so its more cost efficient. That's what I'm going to look at next time.

    I have an old Canon prima too. I love it,and would get can on again. If you use the original ink, photos don't fade at all.

    Here's the one I ended up with. I'm testing it out now. I also love that it's white. My desk is white and my silhouette cameo is white so it's all very clean looking.

    Canon Pixma TS9521C

    It's a photo and craft printer and should even print the 12x12 size for layouts, assuming I can find that size paper.

    Yay for a new printer. I’d love to hear what you think after your testing.

    So far, it seems to go off and disconnect itself a lot. And is a tad slow. The quality of the prints are great so far but I'm not sure if I love it.

    so, I came after printer recommendation too, I have the HP Sprocket for my photos, I am making mini books and TN/Passport sizes on hybrid , I have been doing all manual and stuff I cut from magazines, the Sprocket prints great mobile photos but sometimes they are too small, plus I need a printer to get elements & papers from kits printed....
    Funny thing.... our printer is also Cannon Pixma.... but run out of ink so fast, and I looked how much the cartridges are: I think is over £30 ....even the cheapest in Amazon were.... taking into account that you can buy a new printer for that, I was thinking about buying a new one....
    I ll have a look what model ours is....

    One problem we run into when we bought this one, which is supposed to be wifi- was that something didnt agree between printer and iMac... not sure what it was, can it be that the USB is 3.0 and the computer is 2.0?
    I know Sarita made me buy a cable to connect it...
    I would love to know the difference in between the 2.0 and 3.0 also as I need to buy new EHDrives and not sure what USB is my iMac and what to buy.....
    I'm such a disaster with technology!!!!
    anyway, I better get to sleep, my eyes are killing me.
    Be back tomorrow!!!!

    I'm new to this, but I have been doing Hybrid layouts for my travelers notebook and printing those using my HP Officejet 6962 and matt photo paper and they are coming out wonderfully. I love this printer, we have had it about 5 months
