Photo-quality inkjets
By CNET staff

One of the most-asked questions from readers is, "Should I buy a photo-inkjet printer?" For most users, the answer is no. Today, you can get an inexpensive, general-purpose inkjet that prints fast text and good-quality photos. While they're admittedly not of Fotomat quality, they are good enough to post on the fridge or send to grandma.
However, with the explosion in digital-camera sales during the last year (and no end in sight), many consumers want lab-quality output from the convenience of their own home. To meet this demand, printer manufacturers developed the dedicated photo inkjet. These printers come with various features, including media slots, LCDs, and photo-editing software, and they range in price from $200 all the way up to $900. To help narrow the field, we compiled some reviews that will appeal to beginners, serious photo hobbyists, and professionals alike.
