WTD: Photo printer recomendations

I'm looking for a photo printer whether a PC one that uses ink jet
technology that will allow bigger than the 6x4 prints or a stand alone unit
that is specific for Digital cameras which use Dye sublimation technology
and only allow 6x4 max prints.

I've been looking at the Sony DPP-EX50 for no specific reason other than it
looks good uses Dye sub technology and has a image display panel.

I do not want to spend the earth on the unit and was thinking of a max of
£200... less if poss.

I currently own a Canon 300D and A60 so I don't know if photo printers are
capable of showing up the differences between the two, more so if I went
further up the ladder.

I just got an Epson Stylus R300. It does excellent Photo prints @ 6*4. Havnt
tried Full size but can't see why not.

At £85 you can't complain.

Oh it also reads and prints digicam mem cards too, without the need for a
PC.

You might want to take a look at the Epson Picture Mate.

I suggest the PIXMA iP4000. It would be perfect compliment to your
cameras and its print amazing photos edge to edge. It can print can
4x6, 5x7 and 8 1/2 x 11 or A4 in Europe. It is around $180 Cdn. Not
sure how much in Europe but it should be more than that.

It prints beautiful 4x6 photos that are water resistant and smudge proof.
If you need something larger then this wouldn't be the printer. No need to
walk away.

I haven't seen one review that gives it a good write up, and doesn't
prefer other printers of the same type to the Epson.

Do you believe everything that you read? Some of these reviews I don't
think they ever read the manual.

I have one and it does great pictures. I know lots of satisfied Picture
Mate users.

I know nothing at all about this model, but your post got me curious so I
googled reviews of this printer. They all seem to be very positive, so I
don't know where you've been reading!?

Likewise, given the mixed views on photo printers I have in various groups
it looks best if I do my own research.... Clearly nearly all photo printers
do a good job it's just a case of which is right for me and which I feel
prints more accurately.
