Fall 2005 Photo Printer Buyers Guide
lfescalante writes "DesignTechnica has some great tips on what to look for when buying a Photo Printer. From the article: 'Some of the best printers offer 9600 x 2400 DPI and over 50 levels of gradation. Another important specification for inkjet printers is ink drop size, typically measured in picoliters. The smaller the number, the more ink per square inch can be placed on the paper. The more ink, the more accurate and lifelike the color of the print.'"
no, the most important specification for /. readers:
Does it run linux?
if not,
Can it run linux?
Gimme a printer with a couple of litres per drop and I'll place down some serious ink!

is "Fall 2005" some sort of competition ?
sounds like a rockclimbing or skydiving compo
640 picoliters should be enough for everyone.
oh, wait..

One of the things I didn't see addresses was how 'waterproof' the ink stuck to the paper. My sister has one of those HP portable photo printers, and I thought it did OK printing. She seems to like it. A few weeks later, I sneezed on a photo it had printed, and the ink literally blew off. Now there is a blank spot where her face should've been.
It makes me wonder how long they can last with sweaty hand or in humid climates, even with moderate handling. There is still the fading issue with a number of these photo printers, too.

> 9600dpi, 2400dpi, whatever.
It's a good thing, then, that the FCC has limited the maximum DPI to 56600. (53000 in some areas.)
My other car is first.
r, I sneezed on a photo it had printed, and the ink literally blew off. Now there is a blank spot where her face should've been.
Sure...you "sneezed" on the picture of your sister.
