I have just purchased a Canon MP990, six colour inkjet.
I also purchased some photo paper from Safeway (Woolworths), Woolies home brand, almost certainly made by someone else, really cheap.
I bought it to do proofs of a magazine I put together, but have used it to print some astro photos. It does a really nice job. I had to tweak the printer settings a little, which I picked up from printing a known good source. The proofs were on plain paper and looked pretty average, but the colours were really quite close to the final printed product. The astrophotos look great on glossy photo paper.
Ink cartridges are $21 each and Officeworks have the printer on sale last time I looked. It has a wireless connection and wired ethernet as well as USB. It's not the cheapest inkjet, but it does a fine job.
Cheers
Stuart
