You just have to buy the paper. The zinc paper has all the ink it needs inside of it. Be sure to brighten up the photo before you print. =)

HiAmazon sell the cartridge of photo paper to slot into the camera.Very easy to work and no ink involved, so not ink cartridges to buy and load.

I didn't see any mention of it being special paper. It is a nice thick, smooth (semi-gloss) paper. I scanned my prints so that I have an electronic copy as well so I could just print it in case anything happens to the original.

You can purchase sublimation inks for this printer. The factory inks are pigment based.

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've been going to Office Max, which sells their own brand of cartridges for this printer (they're actually repackaged and refilled Canon cartridges with an Office Max sticker over top of the Canon sticker). I also wait until Office Max sends out those 20% off grocery bags in my Sunday newspaper and stock up like crazy. I think if you buy the multipacks its cheaper too.

I use an Epson jet printer with factory ink. I have had very good long lasting results with this paper/printer combo.

Canon does not recommend it. Check with your local Staples or Office Max. My experience with third party inks has not been good for photos. Jim Wilson

Ask the seller -- I bought mine at a closeout store through Amazon and it came in a new box with new ink cartridges at half the price sold by Canon. So far no problems with it and only had two paper jams using very thin paper or smaller size labels.

Dawn, The ink cartridges are usually included with the photo paper.You can look for photo paper kit g-100 or g-200. Hope this helps

You can get it direct from XPRO. I just use regular ink I can buy by the pint. Just as good, and a lot less expensive.

Our store offers the ink and paper at low prices! But we don't currently list the paper on Amazon, find us on Google ;)

nope, you cant buy the ink seperately and there is no other paper you can use but the canon that is made for this product. you have to buy the package which contains an ink casset and the paper. the ink and casset will run out together. I suggust buying the 108 which is 3x36 that way the cost is the cheapst. Another size I really like is the wallet size paper but you will also have to buy a tray for that one.

You can print a photo You need the correct paper. Select photo when printing. It will use more ink. Picture comes out beautiful. Printer allows photo to dry.

I have printed pictures and found that I need to remove the regular paper before loading the photo paper. I haven't tried cardstock yet. I do like being able to use third party ink. I do a lot of printing and my HP printer would not allow this or refills and I couldn't afford the ink for it.

You can get new ink refills at the targus website and the paper but you can use other types of paper.You can also get a new pen if needed. Hope it helps

I use rolls of ordinary adding machine paper. It takes no special paper and prints out just fine. I'm really pleased with mine. I bet you will be, too, if you get one.
