The Bottom Line	Speed and economy make the HP Photosmart 8250 a reasonable choice for family photo printing.	The HP Photosmart D7360 offers a varied selection of features, great print quality, and fast text prints, but if you need fast photo prints, look elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a decent option for amateur photo hobbyists.	Epson's new dye-based 13-inch printer has style and prints large photos, but its black-and-white prints are less than perfect.	The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer's excellent monochrome printing further solidifies company's hegemony of the enthusiast and professional photo printer markets.	The HP Photosmart D7460 offers compelling features--including a touch screen--for home users, but the competition offers better print quality.
