    Going to get a new printer. My budget around RM500. Any suggestion?

    Hmm.. First off, are you looking to do direct printing (from camera to printer)? If so, what camera are you using?

    direct printing would be nice but not a must. Im using canon A95. Bought it 2 years already, but use it a lot only recently.

    Well, if direct printing is an advantage, then you will probably want to get a printer from the same manufacturer as your camera. Like the Canon Selphy printer.

    Otherwise, I would shop around for a printer that offers things like separate ink tanks, low cost of printing per page and let's not forget, low cost of their special photographic paper.

    Generally though, I prefer to get my photos printed at the shops. The quality is better IMHO, especially if you know a good studio, and the cost is generally much lower. Around 50 sen per print.

    I see. Hmm.. I think most large photo shop chains have online shops now.

    I'm not necessarily recommending them but you can try Fotokem.com.my. I checked and it looks like they offer online printing services.
