If you are talking about prints - it sounds like you do not have the printer set correctly.
The printer must be set for glossy photo paper, and best quality. And of course you must use photo paper.
If you can print an 8 x 10 photo in less than a minute, the printer is not set correctly. It should take closer to two minutes.
........
If you are talking about viewing the photos on the monitor....more information is needed.
Such as size of the image (i.e. 2048x1536) and file size (i.e. xx megabytes)
Also, do the photos look OK when viewed on the camera LCD?
