Colour printing
Look for printers with PhotoREt III or PhotoREt IV or PhotoREt Pro quality output. This will give you true to life photo quality output (provided you use photo quality paper and cartridges No. 57, 58).

Memory card reader
Consider printers with embedded memory card readers, (i.e. Secure Digital, Compact Flash, Smart Media or Sony Memory Stick) for ease of use with digital cameras.

Paper
Consider the paper you're using. If you use heavy formats such as brochure paper or postcards, make sure you choose a printer that can handle them.
Printing on the right type of paper will make all the difference to how professional your printed materials look.

Photo paper - for photo quality output
Brochure paper - for marketing literature, brochures etc
Tough paper - for applications where paper may get wet, or will be subject to harsh environmental conditions.
Iron-on transfer paper - for creating "photo" t-shirts
