I have $150 maximum to spend for a new printer (No HP). Only need to print 8.5x11 anything larger I outsource. Suggestion. Please $150 and below.

Oh well, mine (a Canon All-In-One) is discontinued...
I thought it was under $150. Prints 8x12s also.
But when I need to replace it, I'll be looking at another Canon.

Canon MG 6821
Surprisingly good prints.
I gave away my Canon pro 10 it was terrible.

Look for either a Canon or Epson all in one home office printer that also does photos like the Epson Expression XP-7100 or XP-6000, which are 5 color printers. Amazon has them for $100 and $70 respectively. They will do for casual snapshots. Avoid 4 color printers, but look for a 6 color printer if you can afford it. While the printer costs are low, ink costs will be high if you print a lot of pictures.

Try finding a bit more $$$ and get the Epson Expression-Photo-XP-960. $230.

Nice 6-color printer and can do up 11"x17". 4x6 prints in 11 seconds or so. My experience with Epson printers has been good. Only Canon I had was not so good.

when you can find one single use printers can be cheap as hell. some of the all in one's
are pretty cheap. as always they will kill you on ink prices.

Due to ink cartridge costs I will never own any printer that doesn't use bulk ink. Best choice in my opinion near your budget is:

Epson EcoTank ET-2650 Wireless Multifunction Color Inkjet Printer (C11CF47201) Staples $159.99 or Amazon for $159.

I have the older ET-2500 and can't tell the difference between that and my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. You'll save the cost of the printer in no time.

It is bigger, but my Canon IX6820 is listed for under $150 on Amazon... 5 cartridges in the set and prints just fine with cheaper 3rd party inks - also on Amazon.

amfoto1 Loc: San Jose, Calif. USA

I agree!

The Canon Pro 100 is one of the best values around for a truly photo-capable printer.

However, the price at B&H is actually $149.99. (Note: You'll be charged 399.99 for the purchase, but will get back $250 with the mail in rebate). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893738-REG/Canon_6228b002_Pixma_Pro_100_Photo_Inkjet.html/accessories

This is actually a 13" wide format printer.... So you could make prints larger than 8x10, if you wished. (In fact, the printer usually comes with a pack or 50 sheets of 13x19" photo paper... as well as a full set of inks.) But no one is forcing you to make prints that large. I use one sometimes to make as small as 4x6" prints (actually coupons, but they use a photo illustration).

The Pro 100 is fairly large and not exactly light weight. It uses eight individual ink cartridges (included three monotone for very good black & white prints). The ink is dye-based, which used to be a problem for longevity, but the current formulas are rated for 100+ years life (if you wanted more than that, get a printer that uses pigment-based inks, such as the Canon Pro 10... those inks are rated for 200+ years).

Many "lower cost" printers use 4 colors and aren't particularly good for photos. They also gang up the inks into one or two cartridges.... all colors in one or separate black and a three-color cartridge. These end up being wasteful, since you have to replace then entire cartridge when one color runs out.

If print quality is a concern, I'd highly recommend you look for a printer with at least 6 colors using and individual cartridges. Those will be able to do better color prints of photos (although not particularly good black & white... more cartridges need for B&W). Individual cartridges will allow you to only change out the one color that's needed, not wasting ink the way that the multi-color cartridges do.

I've been using a Canon Pro 100 for a couple years and it's worked flawlessly. Never had a clog, even though it's sometimes sat unused for two or even three weeks. It can be used wired or wirelessly, has efficient auto start and stop modes, and even though it's ink cartridges aren't large, seems pretty efficient. A full set of inks for it runs around $125... or bought separately they're typically about $17 apiece. While this sounds a lot, it's not bad. My Pro 10 replaced a 6-color Epson where the cost of a set of inks was around $75... but they were smaller and less efficient, actually ended up costing more.

I also use an HP B9180 8-color printer (pigment-based, which I prefer to archival prints on smooth, matte "museum" quality papers). That uses HUGE cartridges... they look to be about 3X the size of the Canon Pro 100's... But OEM HP inks cost $40 to $60 apiece and getting really hard to find for this discontinued printer. I find only two of the colors currently available at B&H, three colors avail. at Staples, and haven't looked at other sources yet. Nice thing about the B9180 is that it's print heads can be removed for cleaning or individually replaced if necessary. There are four of them (2 colors each). But, like the inks, those are getting hard to find now, too.

I've found the B9180 a really good printer... But haven't made any of the type of prints I used it for recently. Before I can do so again, I'll probably have to replace it. If I do that, I'll probably not get another HP.... I'm disappointed that they haven't supported it very well. Probably will get the Canon Pro 10, after the good experiences I've had with the Pro 100. (Normally the Pro 10 is about 2.5X or 3X the cost of the Pro 100... If I could get a Pro 10 for the price mentioned above, I'd jump on it even if I didn't have immediate use for it!)

Before the HP, I used a couple different wide format Epson printers which made nice prints, but they were pretty inefficient with inks and expensive to run. The smaller (8.5") 6-color printer I mentioned above where small cartridges made for higher ink costs, was also an Epson. Maybe newer Epson models are more efficient with ink. But one thing that really turned me off was that after using that 6-color Epson for a year or so it suddenly shut down and gave me a "printer worn out, must be replaced" notice. Turns out, Epson set up a page counter on their printers that shuts them down after a certain number of pages, to make you go out and buy a new one! I found a third party applet online that allowed me to reset the page counter so the printer would work again, then used it for a year or so until I got the same shut down and notice again. Once again, I reset it and it worked fine! In fact, I reset it a total of four times.... worked fine, but then started having trouble with misfeeds and clogged print nozzles, ultimately leading me to replace it (with the Canon Pro 100... which has never misfed or had a single clog in two years). However, it sort of pissed me off that Epson was pulling that scam, programming their printers to shut down and declare themselves dead and in need of replacement like that.... When the printer was fine. I don't know if Epson still does this. I sure hope not!

EDIT: I just looked on Amazon and see that they have the Pro 100 ink sets on sale for $108.45 right now. I don't need any right now, but might just buy a set since that's the lowest price I've seen for that set.

Canon TS9120

In the past I have had good luck with a Canon camera and scanner. I bought a Canon TS9120 about 9 months ago based upon the great reviews I was reading about the printer. I used it for miscellaneous color printing and some scanning. After using it for a couple of months I wish I had never bought it.

I printed approximately 50 pages and scanned about 20 images. The print and scan quality was very good. The problems are the paper output tray door (behind the touch screen) and its excessive use of ink. It frequently said to push the paper output tray door closed before it would print. After about 30 pages, some of the cartridges were already low. When one of the color cartridges is low it will not print until every cartridge that is low is refilled. It also wouldn’t scan as I kept getting the low ink message every time I wanted to scan something. I had Costco refill 2 of the cartridges. After installing them, a printer error showed. I don’t remember the exact message but basically that it detected a non Canon cartridge was installed. So it was useless at that point. After only 30 pages I was forced to purchase the expensive Canon cartridges to get it to print and scan. That worked but it only lasted about 20 more pages until I got another low cartridge error message and the printer was useless again.

That was the point I vowed to never purchase another Canon product. If you are looking for a printer with a healthy appetite for ink then by all means purchase the TS9120. Otherwise look elsewhere.

Ditto on the Canon Pixma P-100. I really like it. So far, I have printed only 8X10 or 8-1/2 X11s. The colors are great and the printer is easy to run once you get used to it. Pay attention to the sales and rebates at B&H and sometimes I believe Adorama. Mine was $159 after the rebate, plus a $70 pack of 13X19 paper. Good luck.
