I always liked my friends Xerox Solid Ink Phaser printer
 The only down sides are the initial cost of the printer and he does not know if he can use the photo paper in it (and he does not want to experiment) Cheers, Vic [veng68]

8x10s are way cheaper at home... (4x6's and 5x7s are another story), usually ~3$ each at walmart/superstore (little more at blacks and futureshop). For the 22$ in inkjet refill I'll get roughly 20-25 prints (average - island inkjet tells me it is proper archival ink). Canon 50pk of 8.5x11 is 27$ (500sheets for 38$ on ebay) works out to roughly $1.34 per print...
Quality of the print - well so far, our prints usually come out better than the bigbox ones - at least we have the option to make our own adjustments... Looked at canons, and epsons... Neither seem to do the wifi (at least at the under stupid expensive pricepoint) connections that HP and lexmark do; and I do like that

there is a website Drycreek That has many local photo lab's printer profiles on line for free download. Once downloaded and installed you can then perform all your Photoshop adjustments you want knowing that when you get them printed they will turn out exactly as you made then. The big thing is you need to tell the lab you have used their profile.
Costco has 8X10 for $1.39 online. J

Still more expensive than my current system (which uses a single cartridge for CMK); thus I'm thinking with a system with the 5-6 larger ink cartridges; should be even cheaper
The ink in my world is the expensive thing (like I said... Ebay paper - cheap like borscht)
