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.

If you are printing photos - you can buy photo quality paper. I just use multipurpose white paper - its completely up to you!

I have had HP photo printers in the past, and the way to get better quality photo prints is in the settings before you print. You select what paper you are using whether it is matted or glossy, and how much saturation you want.

Yes and it does a very nice job BUT remember photo printers often have 5 to 9 ink cartridges for the finest definition and graduation in color and blacks. Most people would be very happy with a photo from this printer. To be sure I printed a photo on my professional $1400 photo printer and this printer . The print was very acceptable but not true photo quality. Most would not notice unless they were side by side. In the recent past I have owned photo all in one like the - Epson Expression Photo XP-850 - 6 color --- they do a beautiful job for photos but ate more expensive to use. It all depends just how particular you are!

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.

I use it to print documents. This is not a good printer for photos. The ink saturates too much and the resolution is pretty bad.

I'm going to say "yes". I scanned small old polaroids, 4x6 photos and up to 8x10. Once I transferred the photos to my PC they retained their size. However, if I choose to print one I can resize the photo to what I want. Hope this helps.

Yes with the proper photo paper you will get excellent photos. Hope this helps you.

I have printed out a few pictures and the results are good. I did however adjust the color etc with Photoshop before printing. I also used photo quality 4x6 paper.

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

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

I don't believe it can. The glass is 9x11, and i just tested it that you can use the feeder to scan a legal size document, but it doesn't seem to be wide enough to feed an 11' wide document. Though it does say it can print it. Since I don't have an 11x17 size paper to test empirically, i suggest looking at it in person. For my needs, I'm very much a fan of this printer.

Sorry E.B., but you are wrong. This printer does support 11 X 14. I keep legal paper in the 2nd cassette. It is a little chore, but it does work. You have to specify in the print menu, both the paper size and the source. Then you have to press buttons on the printer itself to finish the print. Like I said, a bit of a chore, but it does work.

yes sir/madam, this printer will print only 4x6 photos and it is fantastic , i have 6 of them. you will have to use it every day or every next day to prevent the print heads from clogging. to clean the heads , the printer uses a lot of ink in that process so, if you are going to print seldomly, then do not buy this printer. i am a photographer and i use one of the six printers every day, the rest are spears. good luck

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.

I printed a PDF file on photo paper, the results were excellent. I use the printer for pictures; I am very impressed with the quality. Not knowing what illustration and materials you are looking to print, it is hard to say this would be the printer for you.

I have not tried photo paper, but my son, who did some research on the subject, said the quality would NOT be good: there would be "banding," or vertical lines in doing a photograph. I use the printer primarily for business documents and letters, and we would have to buy something else for high quality photos. Hope this helps.
