My experience with plotters and printing photos is that you have to check to make sure your settings are correct (i.e. set for hi-gloss photo paper AND you're using hi-gloss photo paper and not semi-gloss photo paper)....and make sure the paper brands match the printer/plotter that you're using (i.e. HP paper for HP printer).Yes, it is that meticulous when you're going for the EXACT results that you want. And make sure the picture is of high resolution. A picture that looks 'OK' at low resolution will look TERRIBLE when blown up as a poster. I've learned from experience, so make sure your settings are good and your pictures are of good quality. :-) My experience with plotters and printing photos is that you have to check to make sure your settings are correct (i.e. set for hi-gloss photo paper AND you're using hi-gloss photo paper and not semi-gloss photo paper)....and make sure the paper brands match the printer/plotter that you're using (i.e. HP paper for HP printer).Yes, it is that meticulous when you're going for the EXACT results that you want.

It is perfect for black &white; printing. And if you do decide you want color. ..Does a great job. The printer does a few extras., but I think you like them. For instance: it is an e printer (wireless) which is really cool. The cost is reasonable, the size fits nicely on my desk and I love mine. Simple to operate. I have not printed any photos but it should do well with that too. I very much recommend this printer.

I have never printed photos personally. I am sure that it will print them, but I would not expect high quality photos.

Don't know about catalogs, but it prints high quality prints of photographs.

I've used it to print on 110lb card stock, with varying results. A lot of it depends on the program you're printing from. I've had good success using photoshop managed color profiles and printing to the card stock.

This would depend on just how large you plan to "blow up" the original picture. I have printed some 8 X 10 pictures and nothing larger but with a 24MP camera I would expect the resolution would be good at most any size print.

I've printed at least 1,000 CDs and DVDs using this printer with no problems unless one of the cartridges gets low. Then you'll notice color variations. Otherwise, if all cartridges are adequate, printing on printable discs are brilliant.

Yes, the quality of prints is good but the printer itself can be cranky at times. Be prepared to fuss with settings, drivers, and the paper feeder.

it prints very well, its perfect for students schoolar life , but if you want a highest quality for presentations o something else, you need to add(buy) a Bigger RAM memory(it has only 32MB ram).What i did, was buy a 512MB memory and put it myself (really easy, look on youtube. ) Because some times i need higher qualityI rather this one instead of ink printers, too much problem with cleaning cartridges.With toner printer, i can print one page a month, and it keeps working flawless (not with ink printers, always stuck)i hope this helps.Have a great Day!!

It prints documents as well as photos. I think it is one of the best printers. One of my most favorite things is you can load your photo paper and the document paper in another area.

Like others said. not a photo printer. Fine for brochures. An inkjet will do a much better job for photos.One thing to keep in mind, printer settings default to 300dpi, this can be changed to a much higher resolutionwhen you print photos. (Still not as good as an inkjet)

I have printed out a few pictures and the results are good. I did however adjust the color etc with Photoshop before printing. I also used photo quality 4x6 paper.

Depends on your definition of "quality pictures". This printer all print acceptably, but not professional photo lab quality. There are far better printers on the market for photo printing (look for one that uses more colors).

Yea, it works great for that. I bought it for that exact reason. I used it all semester and the black cartridge never ran out, and when printing black and white stuff, it runs pretty fast as well.

I am able to print beautiful 13 x 19 prints with this printer. I only use Epson paper and inks. They frame well and are archival. I love this printer except for smaller sized paper which does not feed reliably. I thinbk you should be satisfied with the quality of the work it produces.

I suppose you are asking about high quality photos on photo paper. I haven't tried this, but suspect you need a much higher quality printer It does print in color. This printer is about as basic as you can get. It's fine for light home use, but not much more.

I have not had a single problem with this printer in any way. It also prints directly on CDs. I have scanned photos and documents all have turned out great. Best printer I have ever had.
