The Best Budget Printer Every Photographer Should Use
I’ve been printing and selling my photographs for the past two years now, and since spending thousands on expensive printers and ink, one printer that I’ve used has impressed me time and time again with its excellent quality and affordability.
I urge every aspiring photographer or avid shooter to get one and start using it asap to share their work.

As I said, I’ve spent tons of money on large-format printers such as the EPSON Surecolor P9000 and the EPSON Stylus Pro 7900, but on a whim, I purchased a Canon Pro 100 at a Goodwill for $30.
When I got home, I plugged it in, downloaded the drivers for it online, and used some leftover luster paper to print an 8x10 of one of my photos. Using Preview on my iMac, I was able to select the type of paper, the dimensions, and within a few seconds, I was holding a beautiful print of my work that was ready to be sold to the public.
