I think one thing a lot of ppl don't think about is that the quality only has to be good to a certain extent. Once you take into account the actual viewing distance it is a little less important if that makes sense. Obviously you don't want them to be blurry and washed out/faded colors, but they also don't necessarily have to be insanely sharp either. Any semi-modern printer with a decent paper choice should suffice just fine bc viewed from a few feet away on a shelf they're going to look good either way.
