I am just starting out in the world of photography and wish to sell a few macro style prints next year. I mentioned in another post that I create little indoor scenes on a table combining tiny HO scale figures (approx 20mm tall). I have a Canon Pixma iX680 and currently use Marrutt matt paper for my art work prints which do a very decent job. For some reason I've had an issue with some inks bleeding in areas whenever I use most print settings. The only suitable option without any bleed is using the gloss paper setting when printing on Marutt matt and the print out is fine. I'm not sure if it's the printer or paper but the fact it prints fine on this setting is the main thing. I feel that matt paper might not be the most suitable for the project explained and have read good reviews on Marrutt Oyster/Satin? Can anyone give any feedback on this paper and would it be any better suited for my requirements?
Secondly, is it worthwhile printing at home or do more people now outsource their work to printing companies? I'd like to possibly also offer frames and have heard some companies will print and frame for clients and then send out to customers but I can't find many offering this service in the UK.
If anyone can give some guidance it would be appreciated.
