Any reliable source for photo printers review ?
#31
Ah, yes... styles. I forgot them, even though I created one time ago to fix a strange bad yellow rendering with old photos taken with the Nikon 5000/5100. Thanks.

Update. These are two sets printed with two different labs to similar paper (two variants of Fujifilm luster paper). Of course taking a photo with a smartphone of printer paper and laptop screen is not meaningful for fidelity, but you can see the strong difference between the two labs. The first column is probably better, in spite of being darker, since it at least doesn't lose contrast. It seems that a quick brightness correction with C1 should do, while things are apparently more complex for colour temperature.
Anyway I don't like luster paper. The next attempt will be with a third lab and matte paper.

colors are way off.... I bought colormunki photo it calibrates screen and printer, specifically for this issue, if you really insist on having accurate colors to your screen without intervention of the lab technicians I guess that's your only choice.... for each calibration you lose 2 papers and of course the ink, so don't get too many paper types

Yes, calibrating the paper is another option. But first I'll terminate a run of prints "as they are". I'd say that the idea of buying a printer is getting stronger and stronger, only mitigated at the moment because of the unexpected cost for repairing a broken lens (see other thread in the Sony forum).

if you don't want to print black and white and A4 is enough for you, plenty of affordable options, I  bought Canon Pixma G3420 as cheap printer to do prints like  sketches for my children to colorize, erc... then I tried to print some photos and was surprised with result, you have to look  really carefully to spot a minor difference VS  my professional  Epson L800 printer...
so for less than 200 EUR you can have a very good printer
