Best solution to print digital pictures?

My mom used to do photo alumns and enjoyed photography before digital cameras came out. Now she's frustrated b/c all our pictures are buried in different hard drives spread all over.

You dont use your own printer to save money. Printing at cvs/costco or online site is almost always cheaper and the photos come out great. Sites like shutterfly, york, snapfish even give you a certain number of free photos for signing up.

Kodak printers claim to have cheaper ink (their cartridges are $10 while the others are $15-$20) but 1) Kodak printers have been reported as troublesome and 2) you can find cheap compatibles for most other brands but not Kodak. With Epson printers you get free ink and the best warranty.

The best deals in photo printers are the Epson Artisan series direct from epson.com with full 2 year warranty starting at $99. These are wireless copier/scanner/fax/photo/CD printers with 6 individual ink cartridges for high photo quality. The best warranty in the industry. For two years, Epson will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one should you need it. I recently bought 3 Artisan 800 refurbs for myself and 2 neighbors. It's an awesome machine!

If that's beyond your budget, the Epson NX 415 is $50 direct from Epson. It has a one year warranty. It's also a great multifunction printer. My dad bought one.

You might be able to get an extra 10% off by using the code Epson10.

Triple capacity ink cartridges for Epson are under $3 and you can get 20 free cartridges every month at http://www.ccs-digital.com/freeink.asp

Be careful with the latest epson printers. They use a brand new cartridge (T125) which you will have a hard time finding compatibles for. Unless you enjoy paying about $70 to replace your cartridges, stick to a printer which uses T069, T078 or T098.
