Photo Printer that prints 7 x 5 photos

[1977Nicky]

I would like a photo printer that prints direct from my SD card without the need for a computer. I can find plenty for very reasonable prices but none that print up to 7 x 5, they only print 6 x 4. I am only looking to spend about �40 - any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

5 by 7 isn't a print standard (odd when you think photographers have used it for years!)

the problem is 35mm negatives and digital CCDs have slightly different ratios .... and modern kit only deals with digital images

so to get a 5x7 - you'd have to crop the digital pikkie to fit the paper .... complicated to do with only a printer.
jessops do do 5x7 http://www.jessops.com/dnp/35mm

but from 35mm FILM

Thank you - it's actually for my Dad for xmas so I guess I will just have to convert him to the smaller format!

The canon pixima range

3&4 series (ip33xx, 35xx and above) print directly from your camera
they are however A4 rather than photo sized and do produce extremely good prints (plain and photo prints)..... but honestly I've no experience with photobridge printing at all - so how easy it is is anyone's guess
(a trip to pc world or jessops for a demo could be a wise move)

the canons are getting very good reviews at the mo ... and use individual inks so are reasonably economical to run.
