When you want to print photos though you need an inkjet.
For that once in a lifetime opportunity just take it to Staples on a flash drive.
Ordering them online is easier these days.
What device gets used to print your online order?
A commercial printer of some kind. Why?
Well, what if it turns out to be a commercial inkjet printer?
What if that has to die?
Then you only have the option for looking for photo-quality colour laser which will possibly cost even more.
And that would increase the barrier for entry to those.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You can read the comment that started this thread for context.
They were talking about consumer inkjet printers.
Agreed. Funny thing though, had inkjet printers for 15+ years in the past and maybe printed a photo twice. Ink was just expensive. Today, I'd sooner use those zero ink photo printers for it.
Yep. When Grandma wants a tangible photo of one of the Grandkids, HP inkjet it is. And anyone who says "Just get a laser printer" has never priced a photo quality Laser......
unless you print a lot of pictures. got once in a while, might be better to get them printed somewhere at might higher quality
Or the nearest photo printer is a 100 mile round trip...........
online services?
That does not fulfill the Grandmother requirement of needing that photo NOW so she can add it to her constantly evolving wall of photos.
grandma is a good reason.
carry on,
