How good is this printer for photo quality prints? I need to print full color brochures (no white background at all)

It does color printing well, but not photo quality. I kept my epson inkjet for photos because this one can't do photos. As for brochures, however, it should be okay. I don't think that laser printers are meant to do as great of a job for photo printing because they don't even seem to make photo paper for laser printers.

I use a Brother J825DW, a multifunction, wireless printer that is relatively cheap right here on Amazon. The quality, even when printing to discs, is exceptionally good. After using this printer at home for a few months, I replaced all the printers at work with the same model. Being able to replace each color ink cartridge individually was a huge, huge plus!

I use this printer for printing my photographs. Epson has a wide range of papers. Their Signature Worthy brand offers a variety of finishes. These papers are expensive, but I find that for my photos they print very well. The prints at 13x19 are amazing.

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.

Printer does very good print quality. It's not photo quality but works well for most applications. It's a great printer.

I use Photoshop CC and it works very well. Just remember to turn of the printer color management and let "Photoshop determines color" control the color. I do not use Photoshop Elements.

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!!

photo quality is really good. We've had no problems with this printer, so far. I was so impressed with it, I purchased one for our Hazmat truck at the University.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

I don't think anyone can answer this for you. What do you intend to do with the printer. Do you want multifunction? Will you be printing a few sheets or a great many? Will you be printing a lot of photos?, etc. Decide what you want the printer to do, read the reviews of the many printers on Amazon. If you narrow your choices to a few, maybe someone can help you decide which of them is the best value.

My new printer has not printed even one decent photo. They have all been very low quality and I am starting to think my printer is defective in that respect as HP usually does such a good job with photos. Regular printing is very good.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

Honestly, as good as this printer is for large-format photographs I think it would be overkill for things like invitations. It is optimized for very subtle color gradation using multiple ink tanks for use with specialty photo papers, something that would not be appreciated on the kind of card stock that invitations are printed on. Using so many ink tanks make it relatively costly to use compared to a more suitable printer. While I couldn't recommend a particular brand or model without seeing what you're printing and what quantity you have in mind, 4 ink tanks is enough to create excellent color for graphics/photos printed on card stock. Look for a printer with very large ink tanks (the manufacturers publish how many milliliters of ink are in their tanks). Amazon has a "top-rated/best-seller" feature for inkjet printers, it's a good starting point.

The printer produces excellent color--it's at it's best on a coated stock but also does a nice job on heavy card stock. I calibrate my monitor and the images the printer produces are pretty much indistinguishable from the image on the screen. BTW, you can't use ink jet photo paper. It would run the printer. It would do an excellent job on a newsletter or short run brochure, however.

This would be the great printer for such a setting. The print is laser quality and does not blur nor streak.

I have a xerox Workcenter color laser and it worked without any problems. Have only done B&W; text. Haven't tried color prints yet. I believe the paper was designed for high end brochures, menus, etc.
