Afternoon all,

Recommendations for paper to print photo's from my fairly new Epson printer/scanner please - don't need paper for high standard pics, just for giving to family and friends, so not too pricey please..... :roll:

I buy a pack of 10 A4 size from Poundland, that's normally good enough for me. 👍

Hi Bob, I haven’t bought any for a while as I still have some. I probably buy it from the same sauce as you i.e. The Strand.

Glenys,
Depending on how big you want the photographs I save quite a bit of money by getting at least two if not three/four photographs out of a sheet of A4 size paper.

1. I open my word processor document
2. Use the smallest margins possible
3. Insert text boxes on to the paper
4. Insert the photographs into the text boxes.
5. Print them onto glossy photo paper.

Hope this helps?

Philrob,
That is super advice, will try that when I get the paper.

Thanks MilkyFloor, I did buy some paper via Am...., printed a few photo's, but have now decided that they use up too much ink, so in future will be following advice from a friend, Dave O.....using a memory stick and having them printed at a supermarket. Thanks again.

I think this is a spammer Glenys, 2 posts on old topics with links to American companies. 👍
