The first question would be about the format you want to print - A4 or larger - a P800 printer is something else than a A4 desktop printer. If you consider printing albums you might look into double sided paper as well. printing speed as such is not so relevant, it is more the overall handling time and attendance required to watch the printing process, reloading paper, watching the ink levels, refilling etc. And here a printer with larger ink containers like the L800 and alike or other models with bigger cartridges will give you much more convenience for the printing process.

the formats gonna be like 4 X 6, 5 x7 , 8x8 and 12 X 12 the L800 take like 6 minutes for a 4 X 6 hard Proofing. i understand your point cause u can left it alone doing the process but i want quality too.

if you want an A4 pigment printer and no bigger, with real speed and easy to refill its big cartridges then choose the Maxify, or a little slower with bigger prints try the Pro 10..

I don't get you how the L800 would need 6 minutes for a 4x6" print - you definitely wouldn't need the RPM quality setting at all.

You won’t find Aldi paper anywhere other than in an Aldi store, but when visiting Florida just Google a computer store in the locality you are at or nearest...
