Yes it is light enough to print on. It is a light ivory color. If you would like a sample sent to you please message us your address and we will get one sent out. Thanks

The background on the print side is white; the solid side is cream/beige. White will definitely work!

great question! after reading that, i was curious myself so i got out my set and put a champagne glass in - YES IT FITS! i took a pic of it, plus one of a wine glass in it to show people who might be interested, but i can't find any place on the page to "add my own photo" (which i have done in the past for other products). :-( sorry! either way, both champagne flutes and wine glasses fit well.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

No problem with printer printing in purple hue. Have you cleaned the printer ink heads under the maintenance menu? And only purchase the kodak ink for the printer, do not refill the cartridges. Well I hope this is helpful and I hope it works. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

110% agree. I have printed about 50-100 (and that is a high estimate) pages with very little color and I am already getting one of the ink wells is empty messages every time try to print.

Hi Phil (again) just wanted to tell you that there IS a setting to change on the printer list to change the paper type CANVAS. Although I have never done that so I am not sure what the quality would be. I will say that the quality of all the photos I do on glossy photo paper are outstanding. Hope this helps. I have also NEVER had one negative issue with this printer like some of the other people below have said. I have owned it for over 3 years, and I love love it.

That's a tough question really because there are a number of factors involved. I can't say for certain because I don't exclusively print photos. The ink has lasted quite a while with me printing all my power point lectures for college in color. A couple of my professors are picture happy. I have printed only a few actual photos though.

I honestly don't print pictures at home. I have never found a printer that didn't fade in light in time, and I have tried several.

The color is actually a little lighter than the pinkish color of the picture, but I could not call it white. If you like you could call it a light pink champagne.

We have 2. I love them both. One has held up exceptionally for about 3yrs, the other we've had about a yr. I didn't pay more than $35 for either of mine. I would just keep checking back. Depending on the prints some are very limited, neither of our prints are in production anymore. They clean up exceptionally well, even if you bought a used one to save a few it will most likely look new. Good luck!

I got the magenta and it looks really nice and vibrant. These aren't super satiny, but they're very durable. If you want a picture of the one I bought I can send to you. Email me at shopffb@gmail.com - Laura

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

I did use copy paper and was fine for awhile, and then the light just was in one place, Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby and brought me an adult one with 40% coupon and so, it lasted awhile, But if you are going to be using it a lot like I was invest in a upgraded one from the art dept. If for a child It will be good for awhile. I Did use copy paper, tried cardstock that was to heavy. Good Luck on which ever you decide.
