High Resolution Paper?
I have been trying different photo paper in my Lexmark 4800x1200 dpi printer
and getting different results. Some glossy paper seems to allow the print dots to run together and make splotches of ink instead of tiny dithered dots. On some paper the ink dries almost instantly while on others it takes hours. What is the real deal on different photo papers? What is best for high resolution? ER |

What is best for high resolution?
Another printer made by a manufacturer that isn't Lexmark. |

I used to own a lower resolution Canon printer and it did the same thing with different papers. Is there a site that discussed the pros and cons of different papers? ER |

ER I found my previous Lexmark Z55 worked very well with Epson Glossy Photo Paper and all the high resolution coated papers I used. But stay away from IBM Glossy Photo Paper. I find it totally useless with ALL printers! I didn't use the Lexmark for digital photos as I didn't have a camera then. I used it for CD liners, greeting cards and booklet cover, using the aforementioned Epson Glossy Photo Paper. The results were always very good to excellent. Unfortunately, this paper doesn't have "the look and feel" of traditional film photo paper so I still limit its use to that field. I imagine Costco's Kirkland brand photo paper (high gloss, hard shell, instant dry) should work as well. Looking at the paper instruction sheet for it... for Lexmark P & Z series it says: Media Type: Glossy / Photo Paper Quality: Best Color: Defaults. -Taliesyn |

Printer manufacturers use inks with different characteristics and match them with their paper. Other papers may produce good results, but you have to ask the question with respect to a specific brand of printer. When I had a Lexmark Z55 I found that it worked well with Kodak gloss paper and with Epson matte paper, and some others. The Kodak paper does not work well at all with my Canon printer, but the Canon paper produces excellent results. Bernie |
