Will I be able to get the same standard of prints from digital images as I get from film on a home printer?

A: Absolutely. With today's photo-quality inkjet printers, you'll get superb results.

Seasoned pros can no longer tell the difference between inkjet prints and traditional darkroom prints and top-notch printers from companies like Epson and Canon are only a few hundred dollars for A3 / 13"x19" sized printers (A4 / 8.5"x14" printers are cheaper).

While the printers themselves are comparatively cheap, the consumables (paper and ink) can prove expensive over time, so make sure you compare ink refill prices for different printers before you buy. Buy.com have a good range of printers and consumables. (Use this coupon to get $10 OFF $150 in their Computer Store! New Customers Only! Exp 06-30-05!)
