My Epson R200 does not meet your requirements as I paid $49 for it after rebate. However if you don't absolutely demand paying $200 you might look at it.

Pentaxians,

In your experience, which is a less expensive way to produce cards, prints, calendars and such: buy ink and photo paper and use an inkjet printer; or get them made at a lab/print shop? I would have thought the do-it-yourself method cheaper, but then I ran across Dan Heller's most excellent web page (www.danheller.com, www.danheller.com/biz-postcards), and he thinks otherwise. (I'd take his word for it, but that his math is bad. In the same page he bases a lengthy cautionary tale on the following calculation: 1.5 x 100 = 1,500.)

Which brings me to my second question: what inkjet, if any, can make good prints, take paper up to 8.5 inches wide, and be had for around $200? What good/bad experiences have you had with various printers? It's a rather broad subject, I know, but any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

I'm making photo calendars to foist on all my relatives as Christmas gifts, and I'm wondering how to get least broke in the process. In the future, my brother Francis and I plan to peddle some similar products to the mobs of summer tourists that pour through the local craft market (in exchange for a little dough, of course).

Cheers,
Adam

PS: Francis is wondering if any of you received his last post (about an online photo competition), since he didn't receive any replies (whimper).
