Advantages: Good feeling of real photograph.
Disadvantages: Running out fast.

...printer? Don't know?! That is the mater! If you want to achieve best possible result with your printer, buy best possible Photo Quality paper made by your printer maker! No compromises, otherwise you compromise the quality too. My Epson Stylus Photo R800 prints exceptional photographs, both colour and b&w. It has been designed to, but I need to help my printer to achieve its best by using suitable media. This is the key, suitable media! Since I can't remember when, I have always been using Epson cartridges and photo paper, and have very successful achievements with the prints. At the beginning I have used roll paper, but I dropped it of due to time consuming process of cutting the prints. Later on I discovered pre-cut 100mm x 150mm (4" x 6") Premium Glossy Photo Paper. It was a great relief, no more cutting, just collect prints when... Read review

Advantages: Glossy photo paper. Size 6x4 Excellent colour repoduction.
Disadvantages: Cannot leave printer when printing muliple photos.

...Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper Paper Weight 255 g/m2 Paper Size 10x15cm (6x4in) Pack Size 20 or 50 sheets Fact Sheet Written in multiple languages Made In Japan Resolution Up to 1440 dpi Product Code S041729 No more high street developers for me, at last i have found a photo paper that is compariable with the professionals. You cannot rely just on the paper for good photo prints you also need a high megapixel camera and photo printer. Camera Richo Caplio R1 Printer Canon Pixma IP5000 These have both been reviewed by me. The photo paper is non-perferated so if your printer does not do edge to edge printing you would be better off going for the perferated type. The paper is bright white and very glossy, you can get...

Advantages: Excellent high-quality photo paper, produces high quality prints.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever.

...Last week, I was asked to journey to my local Office World to buy paper for some holiday snaps. After some shelve browsing I came across the Hewlett Packard Premium photo paper. I bought it purely due to the fact the packaging seemed to reach out, and in one swift promotional swing, forced me to purchase the product. Well okay I'm exaggurating, the main thing which attracted me to the product was the price tag. Office World have always been pretty good on prices, and the 6.79 I paid for a 10 sheet A4 pack of this left me feeling most impressed, infact I picked up two packs worth to cover all the pictures! The paper's appearance is of particular high quality. Its extremely glossy, and resembles the sort of paper you find on the covers of magazines, yet much thicker. Of course, I was highly skeptical of the results when used... Read review

Advantages: Top quality printer
Disadvantages: Bit of trouble with cyan ink

...Although the 870/1270 is an otherwise excellent printer, potential buyers and current owners should be aware of the rapid fading of cyan inks that afflicts the 870 and 1270 printers. I have experienced this problem, which is particulary bad on Epson's Premium Glossy Photo Paper. Within months of printing an image, all the cyan has faded away. Some people have reported significant fading in less than an hour, others haven't had the problem at all. Epson has reported that the cyan ink is reacting with ozone and other oxidizing gases and now recommends that all prints be put under glass or stored in protective plastic pages to provide the promised "photo life". Needless to say, this performance is disappointing for many owners and Epson USA has extended buy back offers to afflicted individuals. Epson is working on solutions to this problem... Read review
