Inkjets are the best bang for the buck. I had good luck with higher-end Epson printers (with good gloss/matte photo paper). The ink is much better at remaining viable for a long time, and no longer freaks out, whenever the relative humidity goes up.

With inkjets, though, you need to keep using them. Otherwise, the ink clogs.

Expensive process printers have wide gamuts. Laser printers basically suck. Xerox used to make decent color laser printers, but they had an odd “waxy” ink. Not sure if they still do it.

I don’t think anyone does dye-sub printers, anymore. They used to be good.
