somewhere Hi Which paper uses more ink at the same printer settings somewhere Glossy or Matte photo paper? -- Martin ©¿©¬ I believe it depends on the printer model, and printer brand, as well as in some cases which gloss paper is selected. For Canon printers, I can give an example of the iP4700, where Matte Photo Paper uses an inkset I will refer to here as PhotoHighQuality, both for "high quality" and "standard" quality printing, with the difference that the printer uses different quality settings (3 and 2, respectively) for the inkset. For gloss paper types, for the iP4700 all use the PhotoHighQuality inket with quality setting 3 for "high quality" printing, and a different inket which I refer to here as PhotoStandarndQuality at quality setting 2 for "standard" quality printing. Since the PhotoStandardQuality inkset uses less ink than the PhotoHighQuality inkset, I believe that for the iP4700 gloss papers use less ink, but only for "standard" quality printing. At "high quality" setting they are identical. Inkjet Hagaki and CDs use yet a different inkset, and 3 more different inksets are used for plain paper (1 each for "high quality", "standard" and "fast" quality), and the "standard" one of these plain paper modes are also used for non-photo Hagaki. Epson printers use a different system, so I am not sure what the result will be there. Nor am I able to say anything about HP or other brands of printers. -- Gernot Hassenpflug Pentium DualCore E2180 2GHz, Asus P5, 4GiB RAM 17" Eizo screen, nVidia G94 GeForce 9600 GT GNU/linux Debian unstable/2.6.32-2-bigmem SMP |

For color handouts I use Hammermill Color Copy Gloss.
It's pretty cheap at Office Max |
