I print my best photos and actually display some them where my wife lets me (in my office and the stairway leading to it). She does not appreciate my art. Oh, I usually print at 11x14 and mat and frame them.

I have no idea. I used to print a lot, now I've stopped altogether. I have several printers, dunno which if any still work. The older I get, the less interest I have in photography. IIRC, my interest probably peaked in the '70s. Harry PS Now 90. Not looking forward to the end but expecting it one of these days. It's definitely on the horizon! Harry

Could you present an intelligent reason for your query? Thank you.

Oh, we forgot photo-frames that do Photoframe Slideshows over and over. I picked up mine for less than $10 at a resale shop. Those Photoframe Slideshows are just as effective at putting people to sleep as the old Kodak Carousel. Are they a form of print... well sort of. Modern are LED projectors that have a long "bulb" life. A composite of separate framed photos could be projected onto a white wall.

I not a pro photographer but I love taking photos. Over the years I used to print 4x6 images of my favorites and of family events, children etc and put them in photo albums. I used to print a lot, really alot Now I have all these albums with those prints that no one is really interested in except me on occasions and are sitting boxes in the attic. Every photo from a negative has been digitized over the years so are preserved and can be shared. Of course any digital camera images are saved.

Nowadays, I'll print photos of our grandchildren, 5x7s and have them in frames on a table or mantle, changing them as the kids grow up.

I also send photos to my moms digital frame and she loves watching photos of all the family past and present.

My children never print. Their lives in photos are on their phones. Different generation.

I've also used blurb to make photo books of our favorite trips. I aways kept a diary of each day and I'd always have a narrative to go along with each photo when making the book. Ìt preserves the memory of what each photo was, what we were thinking and feeling and seeing at the time the images were taken. I'd use the best paper offered and the largest sizE book. Time consuming to do but whenever I look at the books the memories are like it was yesterday for me and my wife.

I do have probably 40 framed and not framed. I have started. the last year or so, using my photos and printing xmas cards for family and friends.

What a great gift you are giving to your grand and great grand children! Yes, for them everything is digital now, but as they get on in age they will cherish those albums.

I like the digital frames, but have not had good luck with them. Despite avoiding the cheapest ones, it seems that they don't last very long before failing.

I would't buy Epson stock based on the comments from this forum, mine excluded.

Wow. I've had a Sony digital picture frame for years!

They make great high end printers. But you have to keep them running.

I put three older roll-fed ones (Stylus Pro 9600, 4000, 9880) in a portrait lab. The 4000 saw the least use, and got clogged and given away pretty quickly.

The other two were in use daily, and lasted for many years. The only time the 9600 clogged, the lead operator had ordered third party inks that precipitated in the ink lines and clogged the head. Head replacement: over $1800 for a $5000 printer. We kept the 9600 loaded with luster surface photo paper, and the 9880 loaded with canvas, unless we had too much volume for the 9600 to handle.

The Epsons were the most stable machines in the lab. We could print the same image file twice, a year apart, and it would be so close to identical that most people would notice no differences. Of course, we only used them for very large prints on premium papers, where we could charge enough to cover ink and paper that cost five times what silver halide papers cost... We had a 24" Noritsu and a 30" Durst Theta as well as 40 Noritsu mini-labs, at one point. Those ran Kodak paper in RA-4 chemistry. It was inferior in most respects — 1/5 the estimated print life (Wilhelm Research reports), and a color gamut much like sRGB, instead of the Epsons' much wider color gamut (>Adobe RGB). But people wanted cheap 8x10s...

Yes, what a great question!
I have had a number of Epson printers, the last one was a 4900, and it was capable of printing up to 17" wide, but when that one failed I moved to the new HP Z9+ 24" printer, and have been printing for my friends, family, and myself just because I love the printer, and I truly believe that just taking a picture and having it sit in my computer does not truly express what this true art was meant to be until it is printed and hung. I may print 5% of my pics taken but trying to get the rest of my group to continue to get their pictures hung on their walls. Print from 5" square to 23" x 40" so far!

Of course I could. If you are asking "will": I asked the question because I was curious and didn't know the answer.
