Photo printer recommendation?

Yes, 8x10"

I may be a bit late to the thread, but I was wondering if any of you guys make photobooks out of your prints. The lay flat kind. Would love to make one for a friend using our vacation pics.

I always order book and photos separately and insert via corner fixation. But my wife creates 2-3 photo books per year and they look okay too. She uses Roßmann in Germany. All the printer shops have acceptable quality as far as my experience goes.

Despite owning a fancy photo printer, I order our yearly photo book from a retailer (Cewe).

I am in the process of making a book…more of a zine format but whatever…I will be contracting out the printing when it gets closer to fruition. I briefly toyed with the idea of doing everything myself, but I need it complete more than I need to go down more book making rabbit-holes :laughing:

Please report where you printed the zine and how it worked.

Will do. It may be a few more months because I just realized this week that there is a distinct lack of people in my shots. Since the project is all about a local “park” which sees loads of humans, that is kind of a problem.

I have a lot of qualms with photographing people without thier knowledge/consent, so I have to figure out how I am going to do this. I have a few ideas, but I wont know if they will work until I cant get the frames.

Hello Andy

I owned an Epson SC-P600 and was very happy with the image quality (using Turboprint). The only issues have been ink clogging (if not used at last once a week) and ink cost.
Meanwhile, I own a Epson EW-M973A3T (which is the Japanese version of the ET-8550). Despite initial concerns I’m happy with the image quality and had during the last two years no issues with ink clogging at all. With the ink tank system printing costs are considerably lower. My only issues with the EW-M973A3T/ET-8550 is the handling of thicker paper via the front trays. However, that’s a minor issue as the back tray works without flaws even for thicker papers.
The Linux driver provided by Epson works fine. With Airprint I have no experience at all.
