Before purchasing an inkjet printer, you should read Shopping For An Inkjet Printer. After reading that article, you'll be familiar with the features in an inkjet printer that are valuable for digital scrapbooking.
There are currently three major manufactures of inkjet printers (listed in alphabetical order) that make great printers for scrapbookers: Canon, Epson, and HP. Listed below, for your conveniences, are specific printers we recommend for scrapbookers from each manufacturer. To be included on our list, the printer must support full-bleed/borderless printing on the two most popular scrapbooking paper sizes: 8.5"x11" and 12"x12".
We do not endorse or have partnerships with these manufacturers so we can not guarantee or be held responsible for the performance of their printers. |
