Bob W wrote A4 dye-sub printers seem to be at a reasonably affordable price point nowadays, compared to when I last bought a photo printer. What are the pros and cons of each type of printer? I am not particularly interested in buying a printer that does larger than A4 since I only rarely need a larger print.
In particular, are there any special requirements for colour management with dye-sub printers that are not relevant for inkjet photo printers, and vice versa? Technically a dye sub is a continuous tone print, but with today's photo ink jet printers you won't notice the difference. The down side to dye sub is that they often don't do good deep blacks, their media cost is higher and paper surfaces are limited, and you are locked into that manufacturer's media offerings. They may or may not have good profiles. I would go with a good photo ink jet printer using pigmented inks that has good support for profiles.
