We got my mom a (portable) photo printer this year since she always asks me how to develop photos stored on her computer. It’s not an easy process to explain, especially since there are so many, and the mechanics of copying on to flash memory is not straightforward. So the easy solution is to buy a system that will do this for her, as straightforward as possible. A photo printer that can only print 4×6 sounds like the way to go.
These things are a rip off. Not just the price (I only paid $30 for a normal “photo” printer that prints to 8.5×11 too) but for the ink and paper. The normal strategy is to refill the ink and buy paper in bulk (maybe dollar store too) right? Well they’ve out smarted you this time. Not only can you not refill, your ink can only print out a specific number of photos, let’s say 15. Once you’ve printed out 15 photos, you will have to replace the cartridge even if there is still ink. But fear not, they will sell you paper and ink packages that will let you print another roll of photos.
