The race seems to be between Canon and Epson at present. In the
latest edition of MacFormat in the UK they plumped for the Canon S800
for its combination of high quality with speed - but they
acknowledged that the price was a major factor (£300).
The Epson 895, on the other hand, is much cheaper at about £180, but
is slower as well. If you don't need the ability to read a memory
card (for no-computer transfer from digicam to print), the 890 is
cheaper at about £150 - that last is my information by the way.

I am considering upgrading my colour printer from a HP R45 Office Jet to an
Epson printer. The three models that are available in Denmark are the 1290,
the 890, and the 790. The 1290 costs around $500 and is beyond my present
means. the 890 costs around $250, and the 790 around $150. The specs for
the 790 and the 890 appear to be the same (the 890 is a little faster).
I would appreciate the opinions of our Epson experts as to whether there is
any reason that I should choose the 890 over the 790.
And is the Epson really a significant upgrade over a HP colour printer?
