Printing photos — inkjet, laser printer, or photo lab?

Dye sublimation printers are the type usually used by print shops/booths/machines to print digital photos and for good reason - they produce well-saturated images - and the pigments are suffused into the surface of the print - making them more durable and making them look exactly like photographic prints.

There are photo printers for home which are dye sublimation - you can get one for home for about $100 and the prints are comparable to lab printed to my amateur eye. Ink Jet does not compare IMHO.
