I do not understand why anyone would print photographs on an inkjet.
Water-based ink compared to a real photo printer at Walgreens or
Costco or wherever is no comparison.  I mean, if you print a photo you
want it to last a long time right?  The chemistry needed for that just
can't be done in a $60 printer IMHO.
