Looking for a photo printer to print ONLY photos

[Minnie824]

Does such a thing exist? Recently we have gotten a new printer, more for work use, and its a pain printing photos. I wanted to get something that I could use, and not necessarily hook up to the computer even...just put the memory stick in and print. Also, needs to be able to handle the large 1GB memory stick. Does such a thing exist? If so, can someone recommend a brand/model for me? Thanks!

What type of camera do you have? Kodak and HP both have stand alone photo printers and they are portable

We have a Sony 5 mp something or other...12x zoom...forgot the model name. we use the Sony 1GB Memory Sticks.

If you want to only print 4x6 I suggest looking at the Epson Picture Mate Deluxe. It can be used stand alone, hooked up to a computer, or use an optional battery.

It does a beautiful job with photos. Cost per print is no more than 29 cents each. They are waterproof and smudge proof. They also are archival where the other photo prints aren't. They also are rated to last longer than traditionally developed prints.

www.wilhelm-research.com for information on the archival life of the photos.

If you buy the ink and paper from www.atlex.com your post per print will be 22 cents.

I have the Picture Mate deluxe and the one without the viewer and I love them both. If you watch the ads you can find some great deals on the printer right now.

If you run out of ink before you run out of paper Epson will buy the paper back from you.

Thats just what I was looking for - thanks...anything larger than a 4x6, I can always order online or go to Walgreens. Thanks!
