What are some are some good quility photo printers for an Olympus FE-340 camera?

by juxtapose^esopatxuj

I do have a limited budget but still want to buy something worth my money (300$ tops). Any information on any product would be really helpful. Most of my pictures are of inanimate close up with lots of detail. Thanks for any help =D
oh, and will I be able to use other cameras from diffrent brands with it?

You really might want to think twice about buying a printer.Here is why .The cost of using a home printer is anywere from 25 cents to 35 cents for a 4×6 print. Most retailers and online services can do it for 20 cents or less. And they will be a bettor quality! The stores have printers that cost thousands of dollars and people trained to use them.
There is the hassle of ink cartridges and paper etc. Since you say your pictures have lots of detail that is even more of a reason to use an online service or a store .Maybe you could use the money you were going to spend on a printer and buy a bettor camera?
I have 4 digital camera’s and a free photo printer that came with one.
It sits in a box becouse I know my prints will look bettor and be less expensive using either Kodak or Fuji developing.

I agree with the first answer, except that his cost per 4×6 is slightly off. Here is a link to a site that examines this issue in great detail – if you are interested? You will be amazed at how much some printers cost to operate. One is upwards of $ 1.87 per 4×6 full color print!

Though there are many online sites to have prints made at for good prices, I use my local CVS drugstore. I simply log in to my CVS account, and upload the pics which takes only a few minutes to do. Then, I send them off to CVS in cyberspace, and they are ready for pickup at the CVS store of my choice in less than one hour. And you can send them to any CVS location that offers color picture printing in the entire U.S.! This could come in really handy if you have relatives or friends in other states that you want to send pics to. Usually a 4×6 costs about .19 cents, but they have a lot of specials when you can get them for as low as .12 cents each. In short, you have to pay only $ 6 and some change for a stack of 50 nicely printed 4×6 full color photos. I would recommend using this, or a service similar to that for your color printing needs. But of course, that’s up to you.

Testing new Olympus FE-320


Image by EYLC

When I connected the camera to the PC through a usb cable, the battery of the camera went down along the process and the PC showed that the device connected malfunctioned. Every time I reconnect the camera hoping that it would be recognized the next time, it didn’t. Instead it still says that the device malfunctioned. Please help! I tried to use a card reader but it won’t read the card.

It’s possible that the memory card got messed up because of the power loss during the transfer. Try a memory card repair program to see if you can get them back.
