Or maybe I should just buy a colour calibration device and get them printed at a professional lab?





Would still need a cheap printer for letters and the likes, which preferrably can be refilled etc.

My printer has died and I am trying to find one that is good for printing photos that doesnt cost the world for replacement ink. I have looked into the Canon PIXMA iX6550 and it looks like it has some good reviews.

Canon Official £39.80

Compatible ink £13.48

Anyone know any websites that have a good comprehensive comparison of printers and Ink? i.e. has a list of printers that use ink cartridges which can be refilled without replacing a chip and realistic page yeild estimates?

Or is it really easy to replace a chip? Do you buy lots of them and use one each time you need to refil the ink?

Thanks

Yes it is

Anyone know if the eye-fi works in the k5 as well?

I like number 2 the most then the 1st one

Oh I thought the spyder and huey did that aswell, will need to look into it. I don't print many images but would like to eventually get some of my photos printed and framed or maybe even a book made of my favourites.

Ah sounds like I will need to do the newspaper one then. Was hoping this would do as its the view from my window and I'm lazy that way lol

Thanks for all the info guys, the colour munki sounds good but does have a bit of a steep price tag heh

Would be my Sony Vaio since I have no room for my Pc & Monitors in my flat ... Can't wait to get a real house ! Printer I have isn't really worth the name so I would be calibrating the laptop so the images could then be sent to a lab for printing.

Is there such a thing as colour calibration equipment rental ? Seems so much money to buy for something you don't use that often :-/
