>>4399962>Brother B&W LaserIs the objectively best $100 you'll ever spend. You can even load up laser photo paper and make somewhat decent B&W prints at home. Not ideal since laser photo paper is expensive and inkjet will always btfo laser for images.
>I order my printsThis or go to a local shop for anything except constant printing. A home setup will be better overall for colour accuracy, exposure, and ensuring consistency. You also get to play with all sorts of exotic photo paper that otherwise wouldn't be available.
But yeah, it gets pricey and if you don't print often enough you'll have to service the printer every now and then to keep the parts free of gunk or died ink etc.
