The Bottom Line: Epson's Stylus Pro R1900 13-inch-wide photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink, or advanced photographers who want to print large, but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 1 min/page, 1.5 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a bit too expensive for basic home users, but those who do a bit more printing than the occasional e-mail and map will be happy with its speed and quality.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: Epson's new dye-based 13-inch printer has style and prints large photos, but its black-and-white prints are less than perfect.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A3 (11.7 in x 16.5 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 15 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

The Bottom Line: Photographers will love the Canon Pixma iP6700D's speedy, high-quality photos, but sluggish, mediocre text output will be a turn-off for the SOHO/business crowd.

The Bottom Line: Autoduplexing, multiple input options, and acceptable photo and text quality make this printer a versatile choice for home and small-office users who aren't in a hurry.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 1.2 pages/min, 29 pages/min, 20 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: A very solid medium-format printer with a couple of quirks.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Roll (13 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 0.7 min/page, 1.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, IEEE1394 FireWire

The Bottom Line: A quality choice for the home photo enthusiast, especially if computer-free and direct CD/DVD printing are requirements.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Panoramic A2 (8.27 in x 23.4 in), Wired, 0.6 min/page, 1.3 min/page, 15 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: The R200 doesn't produce the best images, but some shutterbugs may be turned on by its unique feature: printing directly onto CDs and DVDs.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Panoramic A2 (8.27 in x 23.4 in), Wired, 15 pages/min, 0.6 min/page, 3.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB
