This holiday season brings a whole bunch of sleek tech items that make excellent gifts. But what about the printers (people who like printing, not actual printing devices) in your family? Well, there are plenty of gifts out there this season for the print connoisseur as well. We’ll cover a few of the coolest.
Mimo iMo Foto Frame Printer
Digital photo frames are popular again this year. They make excellent presents, as they satisfy both the need for technology and home décor in one swoop. But this frame isn’t like the others. The standalone device (no computer necessary) displays .jpeg files (up to 16MP) on a 8” LCD, can store other data up to 1 GB, and has memory card slots for additional viewing options. Big deal, right? Well, should you see a photo appear on the slideshow that you like, you can print a 4×6 of it instantly. The iMo Foto Frame contains an internal printer that prints 300dpi photo prints at the push of a button. The Frame is priced at 9.
Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II
The name alone sounds intriguing. This is one of several affordable wide format printers available from a number companies this season. The Pro9k prints 13×19 inch formats in brilliant color, and is a great gift for the scrapbookers in your family, or anyone with an artistic side. The printer runs on 8 separate dye ink cartridges, producing professional print outs that pop. The dye printer ink is optimal for photo printing and will last for decades. This printer has received rave reviews and its starting $380 price tag is actually quite competitive for the features it boasts.
Ink
The most expensive aspect of printing is restocking on costly inks. A set of inkjet cartridges is a wonderful gift for a loved one who enjoys printing. Many companies offer bundle printer ink kits at decent prices.
