Hi Toni,
Have you made up your mind yet, whether you want an ink-jet or a dye-sub printer?
If you want 20x30cm (8''x12'') prints, you will likely have to go with an ink-jet (since
the choice for dye-sub is very limited at that size).
I personally have a small Canon dye-sub (capable of doing 10x15cm) at home. I use
this for the occasional give-away print ... but over the years I have certainly printed
somewhere between 1000 and 2000 pictures with it ... and it is still working ok.
Whatever you chose, it should be clear, that home printing cannot compete with
online-printing or shop-printing pricewise. The other thing is, you always need
some spare consumables (paper, ink etc) otherwise you will run out of something
when you desperately want to print something "NOW".
Just some thougths ... not overly helpful I fear ... Rainer
