I understand the motivation and laud your efforts. And wish you luck in
the process ;)
Just a thought, one I've entertained but not followed through on (yet,
for various reasons), would be getting a photo quality inkjet that can
also print on CD/DVD. This would only make sense if you use it to do
photos frequently enough to avoid the drying out/clogging issues.
The printable CD/DVD's I've seen have a totally white printing side,
which makes for much better image quality, in any case.
I can't help with any recommendations for inexpensive printers, though
;( as my interest is in high quality and large (poster) size photo
printing. Which makes the darn things quite expensive.
