The following PCWorld link shows that their advantage is more marginal than claimed. (PCWorld did their own tests). I assume these are 4x6" prints, but I'm not completely sure.

Epson are not in this chart, unfortunately.

The special 4x6" printers are significantly more expensive per image:
(one Epson, one HP)

"Longevity" of the prints is not presented either, but most claim long life if not in direct/harsh lighting.


I was kind of looking for what their test photo was, I might have missed it but I did not see it anywhere.

I have to wonder at their number since they seem far lower then others I have seen, which tend to put the cost for a 4x6 print in the $0.20 to $0.30 range.
