Do you know if the printout quality of a digital photo printed from Epson Photo 750 printer is the same as which printed from Olympus photo printer P330E? If they are not with same quality, how differ they are?

Is it the case that the quality of Epson printer is unacceptable or the quality of Olympus is extremely excellent?

Thanks a lot.

The 750 is an excellent printer. Hard to imagine Olympus having anything even close to that quality for the same price.

I've yet to see a printer that can rival Epson for photo-output at $400. (The new 1200)

Epson 750 is an inkjet printer. Olmpuus P330 is a dye sublimation printer dedicated for prints about 3.5X5". The print quality of P330 is amazing. Comparing to an A6 size output of the same image of Epson, the P330 produce better prints. The special paper P330 use give a very unusual real photo quality texture of the image (I can't describe more, you have to see it yourself). They came with ribbons in a pack of 60. Cost about 50 cents per picture. The Epson photo printers are excellent too. I have samples sent by Epson for the 750 and 1200 printed on Their letter size photo paper. They are stunning. Its the utmost inkjet printer at that price can achieve. I am thinking to buy the Epson 1200. The Olympus P330 is so restricted by its output size. I enlarge prints a lot, the 1200 seems a good choice. I love my P330 printer. Hope my input can help you in your selection. Amy Lee

I am very pleased with my Epson Photo EX, and I have also been pleased with my old "work horse" the Lexmark 5700 which truley supports 1200x1200 resolution outputs at bargain price of around $200 US.
