Laser printers don't do photos nearly as well as the ink jets. If you use glossy paper the toner is NOT glossy so it looks kinda funky. Brother and his wife have a laser for fast and an ink jet for photos. His wife prints a lot of photos. When I got the brother multi-fuction laster I took a color photo and made copies with all the different color laster printers. The Brother was the closest without spending $4000-$7000 on a Xerox Imagesetter.

My niece has the right idea with photos. She puts them in iPhoto or I guess it's just called Photos now, and picks what she want's in an album, annotates everything with text, then uses the feature that uploads the album and prints it as a hard back book and they mail it to her. Their entire photo album collection is all those printed and bound hard back books. Looks fancy and colors will last longer than photographic prints or most ink jets.

Made several attempts to get Mom to do that with all our family pictures. But she jest never got the hand of using the computer. Now her photo albums have been scavanged by my sisters. Don't understand it. Mom had photo copies made of all the stuff they wanted, but still went thru and took those same pictures from the albums whe she passed. They snuck off with the albums keeping me busy right after Mom passed. I was pissed when they brought them back about a month later minus the pictures they wanted, stupid $(@#$!es. There wasn't a photo in any of the albums they didn't already have that weren't exact copies of what was in those albums, including the writing on the back of who, when, and what they were doing. Mom had always told me those were for me because as she made them she had the copies made and sent them to my siblings.
