HiTi Photo Printer - Model 640ID: This is one of the best and
cheapest printer I found to print the digital photos. Previously I was
using Canon i320 to print the photos. The quality of the photos were
superb but at the cost. each colur cartige of BC24 costs Rs. 650 and
black cartige BC24 costs Rs. 350. Totalling to Rs 1000 I was able to print only
10 - 15 prints max before any colour tanks gets exhausted (specially
CYAN). I bought this HiTi photo printer and the cost of the photos has
come down drastically with 16.4 million colours, genuine photos
.
Read the following details and I am sure you will also agree with me.
