Photo printers

Hi all,
I consider buying a photo printer, which should be resonably transportable and deliver good quality prints. Which printers do you use? I need good linux support. I currently consider a epson xp 750 or 850, anyone having experience with that one? -- Anders _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I can't speak about these specific model, but I use an Epson R3000 printer with the Epson linux driver and the quality is very good (non noticeable difference compared with prints made with windows driver).
May be first thing to do is to check if Epson have a linux driver for these model. ----- Mail original ----- De: "Anders Lund" <[hidden email]> À: [hidden email] Envoyé: Mercredi 14 Mai 2014 09:36:51 Objet: [Digikam-users] Photo printers Hi all, I consider buying a photo printer, which should be resonably transportable and deliver good quality prints.

I got a Canon Selphy ES40 a few years ago and was always very
impressed with the quality. Also you can carry it around with you and don't need a PC for it but can just directly insert the memory card and browse and select the fotos to print: http://www.canon.at/For_Home/Product_Finder/Printers/Direct_Photo/SELPHY_ES40/ 2014-05-14 10:07 GMT+02:00 Anders Lund <[hidden email]>: > Onsdag den 14. maj 2014 10:04:33 skrev [hidden email]: >> I can't speak about these specific model, but I use an Epson R3000 printer >> with the Epson linux driver and the quality is very good (non noticeable >> difference compared with prints made with windows driver). >> >> May be first thing to do is to check if Epson have a linux driver for these >> model. > > They are listed under "perfect" in the openprinting.org listing :) > > >> ----- Mail original ----- >> De: "Anders Lund" <[hidden email]> >> À: [hidden email] >> Envoyé: Mercredi 14 Mai 2014 09:36:51 >> Objet: [Digikam-users] Photo printers >> >> Hi all, >> >> I consider buying a photo printer, which should be resonably transportable >> and deliver good quality prints. >> >> Which printers do you use? >> >> I need good linux support. >> >> I currently consider a epson xp 750 or 850, anyone having experience with >> that one? > > -- > Anders > _______________________________________________ > Digikam-users mailing list > [hidden email] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

As far as I am aware very few if any of the Selphy Canon printers work
properly with Linux. I have a wireless one and although it can be made to print under Linux it does not do it properly. For that I use Windows 7 under VirtualBox or I can either connect a camera directy to it or put the SD card in the slot. I also have a wireless capable Canon IP7250 and I use Turboprint to print under Linux which I find much superior to the standard Linux drivers and it also works wirelessly using Turboprint. The only downside of Turboprint is that it is commercial but in my view very well worth the money. I used to have an Epson R800 which is a great printer and supported by Turboprint. Sadly mine blocked its jets and was not an economical repair. I must stress I have no connection with Turboprint other than being a very satisfied customer.

The 6-cartridge ink system distributes ink consumption fairly well, only sometimes I wish for a bigger black cartridge. The built in software gives even better results, straight from USB-drive. Unfortunately this built-in-software in my printer does neither support PNG nor PDF (but newer models should - check this!). And it's proprietary! Another point; vertical paper-feed at the back of a printer is nice to minimize the footprint - but has tendency of collecting more dust and small objects. Resulting in unreliable paper traction. Also, you'll be more limited in the choice of thick papers (my very old HP A3 straight-through printer can print on 6mm thick cardboards). Good luck, Sveinn í Felli _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I use exclusively my Epson R3000 wirelessly without any obvious issue.
Except a misunderstand, Epson driver are LGPL licensed, which is better than commercial turboprint, in my opinion. ----- Mail original ----- De: "Stuart T Rogers" <[hidden email]> À: [hidden email] Envoyé: Mercredi 14 Mai 2014 10:52:09 Objet: Re: [Digikam-users] Photo printers As far as I am aware very few if any of the Selphy Canon printers work properly with Linux.
