What is the best photo printer
Is it even a meaningful question
OK, so you are looking for a new photo printer. It seems perfectly reasonable to ask which is best? However it’s nowhere near enough information to even attempt an answer. It’s like asking me which is the best car, without telling why you want a car.
Even the concept of ‘print quality’ is nowhere nearly as easy to pin down as many think.
The video give a few ways I’d try and answer the ‘what is the best photo printer’ question in a meaningful and hopefully helpful way. Includes a look at what a ‘good print’ is and why there are no tables of data you can meaningfully compare. Why paper choices, colour management and your skill counts.
Sorry to those just wanting me to tell you what to buy, but there is no simple answer ;-)
