The paper isn't th eonly important thing to consider if you buy your own printer - the quality of ink you purchase is equally as important. I have a small printer that does photo quality printing. First, see what ink cartiridges and paper weights are okay for a printer before purchasing. At least 150 # (in us weight) is needed for most cardstock or glossy photo papers. Next, see that you if you can get better than just a normal 3-ink colored color cartridge. Something with up to six colors will give you a better range in your photo. My printer has all of this available and I can put my digital camera stick right intot he printer and print without the computer if I wanted - which I don't, because I use digital editing for a lot of things. But the printer only cost my 80 bucks. I was a student when I bought it but I used it for my thesis AND my professional portfolios as an architect graduate. So.... I think you'd find yourself happy with such an investment. Just shop around and wait for sales. YOu'll spend a little bit more over time but the peace of mind will be worth it.
