Is photo quality good on both laser and inkjet rinters?

ink jet seems to rub off when wet. Are you talking about the index card papers?

This is a great quality paper. The weight is good and feeds into the printers easily. The finish is bright white and I use it for making greeting cards, matte finish photos and booklet covers. The colors are great and professional. I have used it on laser and inkjet printers and love the quality.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

Photo quality card stock paper? No. It holds good color but its not photo quality. I use this paper to print post cards for mailing. I cut the paper in 4th. It does run through the copier well and I print on both sides.

This is not photo paper as such. It is plain card stock with a dull finish. I use it in both types of printers, but it is mainly used for project work. It is similiar to an index card, matte, no lines. Hope this helps.

The photo quality is good, but don't expect glossy or matte finish because this just VERY thick card paper... think 8x11 index card.

I am very happy with this printer. When they refer to subpar for photo and graphics, they are comparing it to ink jet quality especially for photos. For general use and office it is very acceptable. The average person will be quite satisfied.this is not meant for professional graphics use. I recommend you go to a retail store and check out some sample print outs. That's the only way to know for sure. All I can say is that I am quite satisfied.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

The scan is adequate for my purposes at 300 dpi. It is not photo scanner quality. The print quality is excellent and scanning is quick via automatic document feeder, either one -sided or 2-sided.Ray

I sent the printer back was not happy with the quality of the pictures. Would not connect to network. I purchased a canon instead and am very happy with it especially because it prints up to 13x19. Very nice printer.

Short answer: picture quality is very good. Longer answer: The XP-810 replaced an Epson Stylus photoprinter; so print quality was important to me. Before I purchased the 810 I spent considerable time looking at reviews. Those that specifically mentioned print quality liked the quality. Some reviews were more interested in the feature list. I have printed 4x6s and dvds using the disc print capability. These look very good to me. I don't do much 8x10 as it is expensive (ink costs) and I really target creating high definition slide shows to play on blu ray players. I was concerned about the fact that the 810 didn't have 'light cyan' or 'light magenta' like my Epson Stylus did. But I haven't seen any degradation in color quality by their absence. I did like the 810's addition of photo black. So there is one black cartridge for printing regular documents and another for printing photos. So you have better blacks for photos and good blacks for regular printing. This also holds costs down.

The printer produces excellent color--it's at it's best on a coated stock but also does a nice job on heavy card stock. I calibrate my monitor and the images the printer produces are pretty much indistinguishable from the image on the screen. BTW, you can't use ink jet photo paper. It would run the printer. It would do an excellent job on a newsletter or short run brochure, however.

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!

The photo quality seems real good to my eye, particularly for the price. I think it is worth it for you to try them out once. If it works for you it will save you a ton over time. If you don't like the quality you can still use them for everyday printing at a lot less.

Not without photo ink but the results are worth the extra costs. The quality is superior but I will not use refurbished cartridges. The quality was not as good the one time I used them.

I am afraid you will never get close to photo quality using an inkjet on plain paper. The Epson is a spectacular performing inkjet + all in one machine, but no inkjet I am aware of is going to give you super color and especially blacks on plain paper. In fact you are just going to saturate the paper making a big mess. I would try to find some inexpensive photo paper. Don't forget you are going to pay quite a lot for ink............don't skimp too much on the paper or you'll be unhappy.

Yes, it prints very nicely on laser photo printer paper, either glossy or matte.

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.

You must have an Apple. Hurray. I love Apples. Yes, it's compatible with Mac OS. It's truly a great printer. Of all the laser printers I've had, and the list is considerable, this one easily soars to the top of the list. Not only is it very efferent, no matter how many pages you print, at one session, they all come out as straight as an ink jet printer. If you don't already know, laser jets are notorious for curling paper. Also, the print quality, as well as color, is spectacular.

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've not printed with the iP1000 but the Canon Pixma mx860 doesn't quite print photos as well as the HP Photosmart. I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the colors, I expected better from Canon. While the photos themselves are sharper and less washed out than the HP, the color in the final print doesn't match the screen and doesn't pop as much as the HP; I expect far better quality from a company that produces such excellent photography equipment. Although I suppose it would suffice if you don't print many photos or care to hang any of them on the wall.

I have scanned several photos and they come out very well. I think the max resolution is 600DPI which is probably about as good as the quality of the photograph itself. The larger the photo the clearer the scan will be. I found the saving the pictures as a .pdf seem to give you a little better quality than a .jpg and also works well if you are using a MAC.
