Toronto Photography Meetup Group

A buddy mine has a cheap consumer Canon home photo printer and is looking for recommendation of paper type and the best Toronto spots to buy it.

Any suggestions?

No one prints at home? No suggestions on what type and where to buy paper? Thanks!

I only print once in a while at home and I like the HP premium photo papers (matte and glossy). You can buy them at Staples or Grand & Toy.

I've got the canon pro9000 photo printer.

I have printed with a few brands... and I think I like Epson the best.

Depending on how it's mounted later, I really like the matte or lustre. glossy's just too shiny, especially if you're framing it in glass. The glass will make it shiny for you

I usually grab it either at stapes or henry's. depends on whether I want the 13 by 19 or just the regular letter size.

Cool - thanks! I will send him to one of the stores mentioned above

I pick up cheap photo paper (8x10) at Shoppers specially the Fuji that go on sale. For this type of paper, I only use it for the weekly print maintenance to avoid clogging the heads.

I print on three types of paper depending on what I need it for.

For my every day printing I just use ordinary photocopy paper.

For my medium stuff that has rich graphics I use coated inkjet paper.

For the good stuff I use glossy which is thicker and stiff.

I don't really bother with sticking to my printer's brand...sometimes I get Epson, sometimes I get Kirkland (from Costco).

Thanks again for your thoughts on this - I appreciate it!

I print at home often, all sizes 4x6 through to 13x19 on an epson r2400. Paper wise I really like Epsons stuff. Very reasonable priced. On occasion I have used Henrys house brand and been quite happy with it to, especially their satin papers.
