I think that we need to define what a photo printer is. I have an HP
officejet d135 that prints "photo quality" pictures on special paper. It
is not however a photo printer. I have a friend that uses an Olympus
P-400 Dye-Sublimation Photo Printer. Its output looks and pretty much
feels like a photograph, it's a "photo printer". I don't know exactly
how it works, or if it can even use regular paper, but I doubt that it
would be practical to use it for everyday printing.
If I were looking to buy a single printer to do it all, I would buy a
color laser printer. While it is not exactly a photo printer, they
generally have awesome looking graphics, good speed and are fairly
inexpensive to operate. I have seen color laser printers for under $1200
on the street.
