Get an Epson R200 or R300. Very affordable and simply nothing else in their class compares in terms of color and detail. I have an R800 right now, and it produces the most stunning prints I have ever seen from a commercial printer for less than $5000 (no joke). The down side is, Epsons don't make the best workhorse printers, so if you do a considerable amount of document printing you might want to consider an HP instead (or pay extra for the long-term service plan). Epsons are also ink guzzlers, and the genuine Epson carts are not cheap. The good news there is, you can buy some terrific generic carts from places like InkDaddy.com to save money, or else go with one of those continual ink systems. You can't beat Epson for high quality printing. HP and Canon make good photo printers too, but they just aren't in the same league quality-wise.
