ktgrok Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We have an awesome printer/scanner/copier/thing that is great and cheap to run for most of my printing needs. But sometimes I want to print a color picture. Is there some small version of a printer for that? Maybe a photo printer? Something I could fit in a cabinet and only take out when I want to use it?

happi duck Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) If you dont find anything and are talking about photos: I have good luck just printing photos at Walgreen's...order online, pay and pick up at the store within the hour. Almost always a good coupon going on. If something is wrong they'll reprint it right away at no charge.

ktgrok Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have done that in the past, but I hate having to run up to walgreens. This is more for spontaneous things. But thanks for the reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a multi-function black and white laser printer, but needed to print color pics for a short period of time. I went to Walmart and got the cheapest color inkjet they had (It's a Canon, paid about $35 for it) and the starter cartridges have been handling my limited color needs since I bought it in October 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad idea. I know they get you on the ink on those cheap printers, but if we don't use it that much it wouldn't be as bad. I'm thinking we might want to print some photos/pictures of animals or plants to put in a nature journal sometimes, or maps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless my laser dies before then, in which case I'll replace it with a color laser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
