Printing pictures at home

Does anyone else print digital camera pics at home?

What sort of printer/paper do you use and are you happy with the results?

My wife does scrapbooking, so I print pictures from our digital camera for her to use with her scrapbooking.. I'm generally happy with the results, especially for my old 5mp camera and a $250 printer.

I've got the Epson Stylus CX3100 MFP (printer,scanner,photocopier). I make sure i don't scrimp on paper though - good quality paper is worth it as the results are definitely better.

I use Kodak Premium Ultra Glossy or Premium Satin, the 230gsm stuff. It's about $1/sheet but it's worth it.

The printer can do borderless printing, and I've printed a full A4 page (right to edge) of one of my apostles shots, and it turns out surprisingly well.

Does anyone have a link to a page that says how big a print you can get given a certain sized megapixel camera? or, how many pixels wide/high the image has to be for a given photo size?

Thanks
