Best Photo Printers

The Canon Pixma PRO-200S is a 13-inch wide photo and fine art inkjet sitting between enthusiast and professional use, running Canon's ChromaLife dye-based ink system. Reviewers noted the eight-color inkset hits maximum color gamut and black density, with fade resistance rated past 20 years. It prints up to 13" x 39", and the build is sturdy with accessories included. The S revision adds improved Wi-Fi security protocols and, per Digital Camera World, auto-connects to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, but reviewers found no significant print quality difference from the original PRO-200. Professional photographers and artists who want high-quality dye-based printing are the fit.

The Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 aims at amateur photographers who want quality prints without paying for them in ink. Imaging Resource's Jeremy Gray credited its efficiency and ink savings, putting the cost reduction at up to 80% against professional printers. PCMag's William Harrel liked the wireless capabilities and the user-friendly touchscreen. Reviewers were clear it doesn't match the quality of Epson's SureColor pro-level printers. Home users who print frequently will be well served; anyone chasing studio-quality results won't.

The Epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 is a wide-format inkjet for high-quality photo printing, going borderless up to 13 by 19 inches. PCMag praised the six ink tanks and the wide range of connectivity features, and another reviewer noted it handles photo printing up to A3+ size. Epson positions it as professional-grade, and the higher price follows from that. Buy it if you need large-format photo printing; TechGearLab adds that its compact size suits a small or home office.
