How is the quality of the photos? Does this use alot of ink? Are there better options for photo printing at home?

The quality is great! It's a wonderful portable printer that is super easy to ease and priced well. The ink cartridges last for approx 100 prints.

The quality of the photos is very nice. Unfortunately, we haven't used it often as I thought we would. My husband likes printing images from our regular printer. I far as better options, I believe this is great for small pictures and would recommend it. If you like larger photos, use a regular printer.

I like my printer a lot, and it's so easy to use. i'm not sure if it uses a lot of ink compared to others. I always order the ink/paper packs from Amazon.

It Is definitely NOT a printer meant for photo printing. Also a lot depends on paper quality... I print property fliers on basic copy paper and the print is very crisp... The pictures are good but far from high quality... It is a great all around printer

I was not as happy with the photo quality as I was with my previous Lanier. The Lanier gave acceptable photo quality for not being a photo printer, where the Zerox photos in my opinion was less than acceptable. I will add I am a power user of both Mac and PC using both mostly for photography and have dedicated photo printers so I may be comparing it unfairly. As a document printer with color graphics it's great but that's what I purchased this printer for.

Quite well for a laser printer. They are not quite true photo quality but for a business flyer or similar they are superior to any other laser printer I've used. The toner OKI uses gives a nice shine and finish to the picture and I would say that if you need better then you would be better off going to inkjet photo paper and an actual photo printer. Hope this helps.

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

I only use this ink for business paperwork which works great - unsure of photo quality

I just bought this printer and am already in need of more ink. The ink multi-package I bought from Epson cost about $45. With the cartridges that came with the printer I was able to print around thirty-five 4x6" high-quality color photos and about ten 8x11" photos of the same quality. Ink does seem to go fast when printing like this. Hope that helps.

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)

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

Use Dye ink for sure, pictures turn out much nicer using the Dye ink. Good Luck Cheers

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

The color quality is great, but the cost begins to be significant if you're making lots of prints. You've probably seen other comments about the cost of the color cartridges. If cost is not that important, but if quality results are your main objective, then this is a very good printer for you. For large numbers of copies, you might want to consider laser, rather than ink jet copiers.

No, not good for photo's. Image quality is poor in regular mode. Average in better image quality mode. Also, scan time is slow. It's okay for home use but not in a commercial setting.

I have not tried to print photos with my Canon printer, but I haven't had one problem due to ink quality.I believe they have done us Canon users a service by providing us an alternative.

The photo quality seems real good to my eye, particularly for the price. I think it is worth it for you to try them out once. If it works for you it will save you a ton over time. If you don't like the quality you can still use them for everyday printing at a lot less.

I printed a PDF file on photo paper, the results were excellent. I use the printer for pictures; I am very impressed with the quality. Not knowing what illustration and materials you are looking to print, it is hard to say this would be the printer for you.
