Although not a photo specific printer, it does a great job at least to 8X10, High quality on Premium photo paper.

This printer will print "acceptable" photos on good quality photo paper. Color rendition is good for snapshots, but never for archival or media production photos. You are getting what you pay for. If it is high quality you need, you will need a much more expensive printer.

I bought this printer only with the intention of printing school work. So, I haven't printed anything on photo paper with it. It does come with a small sample of photo paper, but I have never used it. It does have nice picture quality on regular paper though.

Annna the Sophia cartridges will print photos very well. I have printed over a dozen so far with excellent results. I'm sure you will be pleased.

Yes. Photo paper is universal to all brand printers not just the brand of the paper.

I've never used it on photo's but I'm guessing that it would not be ideal. I use this printer as my everyday printer for color and black and white.

I have not tried it on actual photo paper, but it does a good-enough job on regular 11 x 17 paper. In our use case, more-importantly it is able to print without any borders even on that large paper size; in other words if so selected in preferences, it will leave no unprinted area on the edges of the page, even if it is 11 x 17. Furthermore, this model (with the two trays) allows for both automatic feed (through bottom tray) and manual feed (through bad slot) of 11 x 17 paper. And lastly, it feeds regular letter and A4 papers with the wide-edge, which seems to make the printing at least seems faster, since it ends up printing with broader strokes.

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

Should work just great! It did on my dell windows 7 os, loaded and performed excellent, picture quality is outstanding on HP Glossy photo paper, I own 5 of these printers

Sure, it will print just fine. Just make sure your margins are correctly set in the document so the print area does not cover the hole area.

I've been in photography my whole life and used the finest Epson photo printers and Canons too, and this little Brother does just fine as long as you use quality photo paper and select the paper type (and other settings) in the "preferences" before you print. Do some tests using various settings to find your favorites. Note that "matte" paper is MUCH less costly than other types and that "semi-gloss" is MUCH preferable to "gloss" (it's what the pros use).

Sure does. Just printed out some photos from my iPhone using that particular paper. Works super.

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

Really the printer depends of your specific needs, I have a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 for photo printing and works very very well.

The 500 prints 1200dpi so if you have the depth of field and your software can handle it, you should be able to print as "photoy" as any printer out there. Be sure to use very bright paper and maybe even consider sheets with a semi-gloss finish.

I didn't purchase for photo printing, but I have printed a couple of photos and it was okay. If you are wanting a printer to print many photos, this is not the printer.

This printer is a specialty medium-format color photo printer. It is WAY overqualified to print office documents. There are far less expensive models for printing documents. It would be foolish to buy this one just to print documents.

I have not used this printer for photos, I have a photo centric printer for that duty. For printing presentations and general output, the color output looks great, accurate and bright, never blotchy or streaky.
