    Hi All,

    I am unsure if I am in the right forum, so please move my thread if it's not in the right forum.

    I have different photos of my kids, all the photos are printed and are in different sizes, I would like to be able to resize them and print them without losing the quality of the photos. Which software would you recommend and which printer would you recommend too?

    I'v done a quick search in internet and I came across different printers but I would like to have the opinion of people who have used the printers.

    Thanks a lot in advance for all your answers.

    If you have prints then you need to scan them at as high as resolution as possible. You can then work on them in terms of resizing etc.
    As you're asking this question I'm assuming you don't have a printer, scanner or any software for processing. If that's the case then you would probably be better bringing your pics to a specialist and let them do it. Any decent photo outlet would be able to handle it fairly handy.

    Cool, this is more or less what I am looking for, I checked few reviews in Internet and it appears that these printers are good, the cons is the expensive price of cartridges (about 55 eur for all of them), the Kodak hero printers appears to be good as well and the price of cartridges is very reasonable, what are your thoughts about it?

    Well after some research in internet regarding both quality of the prints and price I think that the best buy is the Kodak Hero 7.1 Wireless All-In-One Printer, here is a link in argos http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9045808.htm.

    Based on reviews in different websites, the quality of photos printed is great (not the best but very good quality), the running cost is cheap in terms of cartridges and on the top of that there is a 80EUR off the original price right now so I might go for it, I have until Monday to buy it since I reserved it.

    any thoughts about this printer?
