[QUOTE="Odin_aa, post: 361859, member: 11814"] If you do not print in volume the cost issue is most likely true, however if you own a larger printer the cost of the inks drops considerably and the quality will match if not surpass that of professional printing. I own prints that are over two years old and in no way protected by glass or anything else that look just as they did the day I printed them. For myself...Costco and Sams Club would not be top notch, though they may be quite good and more than acceptable for most. Top notch is a professional printer who actually performs service for you beyond printing as well as the highest quality paper, printing techniques and personal service. There are differing levels of expectations, I would say my R2400 paid for itself in about 6 months however that is considering the cost to have printed 12x18 prints versus what it cost me to buy the printer and ink/paper to do the same. Photo enthusiasts who judge these prints would have never guessed they came from an inkjet. There is really no comparing a lower end photo printer of any brand to a higher end to professional printer of the same brand...they are more expensive to get into however if you do print many photographs well worth it. If you however do not print a lot, then there is no reason to make such a purchase. [/QUOTE]
