Is photo print quality on regular paper acceptable for hanging on wall with a scotch tape? Tried Brother color one, it was terrible for photo printing.

If you use really good quality paper, yes. 28 lb glosy paper. Looks fine. You need to use your photoshop or other program to color balance, though.

You can print them fine on regular paper, however printing to glossy photo paper doesn't work. I have never tried Matt photo paper.

From 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I would rate it at an 8. I have not used photo paper on it yet, just your typical white paper to print in black and color documents. I have noticed once the ink starts running low, the color print quality also goes down.

Hi L,I have never used it to print photos yet. But, from what I can tell, the color printing from websites is good! Black/white documents don't seem to be as clear as my old canon, but , honestly, have not used it very much since i bought it... sorry can't be much more help, but, let me know what you think?Chris

I have not. I have printed out several photos and not had a problem. It has been almost a year for some of them, and they still look as great as they did when I printed them. I use the best photo paper and print with the highest quality. I do not know why the age of your paper would make a difference though.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

The quality of the photos is very nice. Unfortunately, we haven't used it often as I thought we would. My husband likes printing images from our regular printer. I far as better options, I believe this is great for small pictures and would recommend it. If you like larger photos, use a regular printer.

You can't print on regular photo paper using a Laser printer. You need to purchase Laser photo paper and the photo's printed on my Xerox 6500 are of excellent quality.

With me the printer paper 2-3/7x100 Brother QL-750 I was ordered . That was running very good on my printer QL-750. I have not problem with those roll I used.

I am not sure what the results would be. Usually papers of this quality are designed for the Epson's printers, as paper of similar quality are designed for the Canon printers. I would suggest that you consider using Canon paper with the Canon printer, just look for a matte paper that is considered fine art paper. Also be sure that you get the correct profile for that paper, results are very dependent on the profiles that are designed by the printer/paper manufactures.

Tough question to answer. Photo quality is such a subjective thing. What one person thinks looks great, another does not. Can this printer print photos...yes, absolutely it can. Do they look better than the best photo printers out there...well, no they don't. Do they look good? The quality of the print using the manufactures ink looks good to me using generic glossy photo paper. Good enough to print snapshots, make promotional items for school fund raisers, etc. Would I use this printer to create photos to enter a photo contest...probably not. Keep in mind this as well, the software allows for many different settings of how the printer will print a photo and I have not spent hours tweaking it to my tastes. I just use the default settings and was happy enough with the results to use it again for that purpose. The speed is OK. Not super slow, and not super fast either. I deal with a lot of large format (11x17) drawings...that was my purpose in buying this printer.

This printer will print "acceptable" photos on good quality photo paper. Color rendition is good for snapshots, but never for archival or media production photos. You are getting what you pay for. If it is high quality you need, you will need a much more expensive printer.

I also bought this product for color production and have been pleased with the result. However, I'm not printing photos on specialty paper so I do t k ow how it would perform in that way. Also, I don't have any comparison experience.

Hi Phil (again) just wanted to tell you that there IS a setting to change on the printer list to change the paper type CANVAS. Although I have never done that so I am not sure what the quality would be. I will say that the quality of all the photos I do on glossy photo paper are outstanding. Hope this helps. I have also NEVER had one negative issue with this printer like some of the other people below have said. I have owned it for over 3 years, and I love love it.

I have not printed pictures on plain paper only once. Black was not jet black, neither were the other colors vibrant. They were on Epson premium gloss paper but inside photos appeared darker than I would like.

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.

Correct. Try the Brother Thermal 'Plus' rolled paper. Looks and feels a little better.
