Are any of you using photo printers to print your photos for scrapbooking?
I'm looking for recommendations for a small-sized printer. It doesn't need to be able to print legal size papers, 4x6 photos (or smaller) is enough.
There are just so many different ones out there that I have no idea in which direction to go.

I have a regular 3 in one printer that is connected to my computer which is an HP. I also recently acquired a Canon Selphy. It's in my craft room and I can print 4 x 6 (and smaller with a phone app). It's convenient because it doesn't take up alot of space and I can print wirelessly from my phone which is what I use for all of my photos. I recommend reading up on all the reviews on the printers you are interested in. That's what I did before getting the Selphy, just so you have an informed decision. Good luck on your quest!

If 4x6 or smaller is what you need, I also recommend the Canon Selphy printer. Like being able to print from my phone and the quality of the photos are great! The printer itself is inexpensive imho and the paper/ink cartridges are affordable as well.

I am really happy with my Canon Selphy printer too. If I have a lot of pics to print, I use persnicketyprints.com. But if I just want to print a few pics, I use the Selphy printer.

It is easy to use. And I print right from my phone.

If you're looking for a small footprint and good quality, you can't go wrong with the Epson Charm. The catridge is a little pricey, but you get a lot of prints from it. It doesn't print on paper, just 4x6 photo stock. I've got a regular printer (that carped out of printing my photos but will print anything else) and a Charm. Love that little thing!

Thank you everyone. I will check out the Selphy and the Epson Charm.

I'm going to agree with the Canon selphy, easy to use with quality pictures.
