I agree with several of the different posts -- to sum up
Lasers consumables can kill the cost to use. Photo printing is blah.
Photos -- I send them out. Costco is my preferred place, but any store should work great.
What I think you need is an inkjet with generic cart capability. I own a Brother J835DW like space mentioned. Wireless, duplex and works with iPhones/iPads. I just bought 16 generic carts for it -- 4 black and 2 of each color for $11. 80 cents per cart. Ive already used them before, they work great. I tell my kids to print whatever they want as much as they want.
835 is are no more, replaced by the 870 and 875. They also have generic carts, and $1.50 each, so still a great deal.
Ive seen the 870 for $115.
