"The best printer for your fine art prints and photos - what marketing can't tell you Keith is regularly asked about the 'best' printer. The problem is it depends on what you want you need and can afford. Yes in general more expensive and more inks make for a better printer. The real problem is that as printers get better there are many other factors come in to play. Much like cameras just buying a better printer will likely not help your printing unless you know how to get the best out of what the new one can do.
