I think there is no "best" photo printer for the money. Because now a days there are so many good printers for the money.
My personal favorit would be Epson printers because: They have the best quality (AND waterresistent inkt) for the money AND the cartridges (inkt) are very payable. So MAYBE you pay a bit more for Epson. At the end its probably cheaper the page you print.
Good luck!
I agree that there is no "best" as there are many good ones by many companies, however, I was given a tip a long time ago when I purchased my first computer printer, by an artist who used a computer frequently. He told me to always ALWAYS purchase a printer that uses separate ink cartridges for color printing. At that time only Canon and IBM made printers for home use that did this.
The reason, is that most especially when printing photos, you will find that sometimes you use one color more than another, and when you do make the switch to a printer with separate color cartridges you will be amazed at how much of the "other" colors you have left when your first color cartridge is empty.
Currently I have a small Canon printer with 3 color ink cartridges, plus one black. I also have an over sized photo printer by HP that uses 8 cartridges in all. I've heard good things about Epson, too, but when I purchased my large printer, the Epson in my price range required one to change cartridges for two types of black ink, while the HP holds all cartridges at the same time.
Separate ink cartridges! That is the best photo printer to purchase! Personally I recommend it to anyone buying a printer. Why throw away any of that expensive ink unused, if you don't have to???
Good Luck!
