I'd like to say, my all-in-one Canon MX925 has proven to be very good. I
have it for more than one year, cost 135 euros, is fax, copy and scan,
can print photos, has duplex scan and duplex printing, can print on
printable cds...and has 2 trays, one for photo and one for normal paper,
and can also do full duplex copy, almost like a pro copier like the ones
that they have in copy shops and cost thousands euros. It has 5 inks,
that come in normal and XL sizes, that cost 13 euros each (the XL size)
and can last for months!Daisuki kyanon!?????????!!!

How is the quality of the photo prints - like real photos?

And the colour inks, if you don't use them for months, do they dry up?

Can you use cheap 3rd party inks?

The prints are waterproof?

Good questions. FWIW I'm not personally not bothered about achieving
exhibition quality, and I find most of my friends and family are more
than happy with what I would call "glossy magazine" prints.

IMHO an ordinary CYMK laserjet or inkjet on normal paper, run through a
cheap laminator, is quite capable of giving a glossy print which is
close to magazine quality, even the best stuff like National Geographic.

That's not to say that a five colour printer on glossy paper isn't
capable of giving a fantastic image, just that lower and cheaper tech is
very often OK, especially if it is really well composed and exposed.
