    What type are you looking for?

    I have this:

    polaroid_pogo_printer_f.jpg

    and this:

    photosmart.jpg

    Both are awesome but it depends on what your looking for

    Doesn't matter really, I was thinking for smaller prints but the option of A4 would be good. It's the best photo quality and price per print which will take preference.

    Not sure, the model number is down home. They're all pretty much alike

    Just a word of caution - the pogo is now officially no longer supported by polaroid, and the paper will probably be next to impossible to get quite soon. I couldn't find a single stockist in Dublin last week.

    depending on how many prints your doing you might be better with a more pro dye sub printer, the cost per print will drop dramatically with some of them

    have a look at photomark.co.uk or systeminsight

    they list a lot of the more pro printers and the results are very good from a lot of them

    the cost per print will be a fraction of one of those home type small printers, but the cost of the printer will be much higher

    At the moment, yep. Just saying it'll be gone soon though. I'm guessing that's precisely why boots have the printers reduced from 159 to 35 quid..

    Cheers for all the advice. I checked out the Dye sub printers and they are a bit out of my price range at the moment but very tempting. Think I will go for for a HP one.

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable Event Photography printer that can be used at an event, taking photos of Christmas parties, dinner dance, nights out, football matches, that i can print off 6x4 or 5x7 prints fairly quickly ? A good quality printer.

    Any suggestions would be great,,

    Thanks! :)
