Do you use this ink to print photos or just documents?

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.

I use this printer for printing my photographs. Epson has a wide range of papers. Their Signature Worthy brand offers a variety of finishes. These papers are expensive, but I find that for my photos they print very well. The prints at 13x19 are amazing.

I have been using this ink with photo glossy paper, also for advertising materials. Glossy

No, the paper is self-inked, and you can really only print small photos. Most of the paper is peel and stick.

Honestly, as good as this printer is for large-format photographs I think it would be overkill for things like invitations. It is optimized for very subtle color gradation using multiple ink tanks for use with specialty photo papers, something that would not be appreciated on the kind of card stock that invitations are printed on. Using so many ink tanks make it relatively costly to use compared to a more suitable printer. While I couldn't recommend a particular brand or model without seeing what you're printing and what quantity you have in mind, 4 ink tanks is enough to create excellent color for graphics/photos printed on card stock. Look for a printer with very large ink tanks (the manufacturers publish how many milliliters of ink are in their tanks). Amazon has a "top-rated/best-seller" feature for inkjet printers, it's a good starting point.

Like any inkjet, it depends on how much you print and what quality. My default setting is gray scale / draft to extend ink life.

Sorry you are asking the wrong person for this question because I do not have that printer. Any way the cartridges are working ok for documents not photo quality.

It's not a fast printer, maybe 10 seconds? I don't use it for ordinary letters or pages, as that is a waste of archival quality ink. The ink doesn't seem to go dry and it is months between my uses. I usually let it do a cleaning or something like that after a long dry spell, and all is good. The trick to having this printer print on heavy card stock or art paper, which the feed often refuses to load, is to use a bit of scotch tape to clean the lint/paper fuzz off the grey rubber roller that picks up the paper.

The shinier side is the correct side. I also use the PRO-100 and have had excellent results with the paper. Your designation of the media type as Photo Paper Pro Luster is correct. Try printing with the quality set on "Standard" versus "High", that might help reduce the ink flow. Check the bottom of the ink carriage and look at the print head to ensure there is no buildup on it. It may help to put all your printer quality options on default versus custom to see if this solves the problem. Hope this helps. Also, as DRB stated, using Canon Inks takes the guess work out. Also, refilling the ink cartridge may be the source.

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.

Yes. I have actually never used it for photos on photo paper, just on regular paper. Prints regular stuff just fine.

It prints documents as well as photos. I think it is one of the best printers. One of my most favorite things is you can load your photo paper and the document paper in another area.

I agree. The Blick Waterbased Printmaking Ink works best. However you can also add an acrylic extender into the Tempera and it works good too.

Nope. None. Nada.I'm saving up for a black only laserjet instead and I haven't used this thing in over a year other than for excellent scanning. Refuse to buy magenta and yellow ink just to print a 1 page word doc in black.

Does not really Matter, I use HP photo glossy and Kodak Glossy photo paper in the letter size to print large pictures and it does ok. Just make sure your printer settings are set to photo glossy. Hope this helps. thanks Linda

Yes and no. It is the only paper I use for everyday use. It has Colorlok, which makes it usable for photos, but it is not photo paper. Though I do use it for photos and they are usable prints, for general use. Example, pic of a neighbors yard, to show to your Association Board and not waste, Premium Photo Paper.You are not going to have a high gloss photo, as you would with HP Premium Photo Paper, High Gloss.
