I know this is not what it is designed for, but can this be used to print on 'normal' copy paper or transparency? Would it last?

Normal copy paper, yes.I do not know about transparency/see through film. It may not adhere to the surface. Do note that you will get a lighter print if you print on normal copy paper as this type of ink needs to be heated and applied on a surface that has a sublimation coating applied to it, in order for the colors to "pop".

This is just regular inkjet/copier printer paper. Of Medium quality I might add. It will do the job for regular printing and if you have special needs or uses, you should look for specific paper for your end use. This is just run of the mill inkjet printer paper.

PS I have printed 50-100 pages/day for the past 8 months and this printer works great. I'm not going to risk fouling it up with "generic" (clone) cartridges.

it works fine with any paper suitable for ink jets. choose your paper based on your intended use... normal printer paper for standard print tasks, photo paper for picture printing, etc. I'd start with standard printer paper then buy specialty paper as needed.

I would only say, proceed at your own risk. This printer is primarily made for paper and photographic paper. There are larger printer/plotters from Epson and other brands that are rated for printing on canvas and other substrates...and, of course, they are much more expensive. If this is a rare, one- or two-off project, you may do better to find a local or online vendor that specializes in printing on fabric or canvas - there are hundreds of them listed on the web. That way you don't risk ruining your own printer. If you intend on printing on fabric routinely, you may want to invest or lease a much larger printer/plotter. But my recommendation would be to outsource it to a qualified vendor first who has the proper equipment.

It works. But remember. The white area is 'transparent'. When you print a picture, the white areas are see-through. I printed a picture with lots of darks and transferred it to a dark shirt, and since white doesn't transfer, it didn't work out right. (Printers don't 'print' white)

It's a very good quality paper. While I think it is best used for writing, I would certainly try printing to it if I needed to! I haven't tried it on a printer, but I definitely would. Try it on one sheet and just make sure your margins within your text portion is matched to the paper sheet size; also make whatever adjustments on your printer feeder tray that may be required for printing other than an 8-1/2 x 11 size sheet.

I don't know exactly what you are asking, but for the initial use for which I bought the printer, I am pleased. I bought it so as to print labels to use on aluminum plant markers outside in my garden. They have held up well to sun, rain, and now snow and wind. By May I will know for sure whether they have weathered what a year can do to them. They were quick and did not smear and easy for making 2 or more copies of the same name I needed. When tax season is done, I may start labeling all the folders in my cabinet just so they are easier for me to read at a glance.

Yea, it works great for that. I bought it for that exact reason. I used it all semester and the black cartridge never ran out, and when printing black and white stuff, it runs pretty fast as well.

We use it for regular printing on our Epson ink jet printer. It looks much better for text then copy paper or many other paper. Webpages with photos or graphics look good on it too. I use photo paper for pictures.

Hey, buddy, bad news first. I'm not sure about the ink. However, I do use whatever paper is the cheapest for private projects and non-commercial purposes. Never had any problems with moderate use. Meow, I'm not 100% sure whether or not the printer has built-in profiles for non HP paper, I think it does, but can't verify this because my printer is currently out of state. Hope that helped some.

The edges are lose and tear away from the sides of the paper. Once the edges are torn away you can fit the paper into your printer. I've printed invitations to a Harry Potter party on it and old style announcements. It is also good for calligraphy. I've enjoyed it and am all out I need to order some more

Well I have printed over 50 pages thus far no problems. I really cannot tell you how many pages it will print. However I brought one from B'j's warehouse and it lasted me two semester in college. If it last me to January 2014 I will be happy. Hope this is helpful.

I'm sure that vendors send out different quality products. Mine gave me tons of problems and seem to have permanently damaged my printer. Some colors refused to print, and the others were such low quality that the ink fades over time. Pictures that I printed with it turned all washed out after a month or so. The price looked tempting, but I might as well just have thrown my printer out. I guess that the worst is you might not know until you try printing, and its possible that the damage is done by then.

Should be able to...the paper is not coated so both sides would give the same print quality. I use this to print a draft copy before using a more costly coated sheet ($0.02 vs $0.45 a sheet).

Unfortunately I haven't printed anything but standard letter size paper on this machine. I worked in Graphics Design for over 40 years. My best advice is not to use cheap paper. For all sheet printing I will only use Hammermill paper. I hope someone with envelope printing experience answers. I'd like to know myself. Good Luck.
