Price Paid:
$399.00 Model Reviewed: Olympus, P-330 Summary: For photo printing in this price range nothing beats a small Dye-Sup, and the P-330 performs with the best of them. Photos quality is excellent. However, the printer is far from perfect, supply are expensive upwards of $0.65 - $0.70 per print, with a very limited print formats available (small, smaller and tiny). That said we knew the cost and sizes issues when we bought it, still we use it constantly and other than the few ocasions we need larger prints we are are quite happy with our purchase. The issue that continues to detract from our enjoyment is the lack of continuing support from Olymous, not the technical support people, they have been very helpful, it is the lack of certified drivers. The last offically supported OS was Windows 98, however technical support did provide a "unsupportted" Win2K driver that does work on Windows XP.
If you can live with the supply costs and the small format prints then this printer can't be beat. Strengths: Output Quality. Weaknesses: Supply cost, limited print format/size and lack of drivers.
