Poundland Photo Paper

[scoff]

Well the kids dragged me in, hate the place.. spotted A4 photo paper 15 sheets. Wasn't going to bother until the wife said what you got to loose for £1?
Fair point..
Just opened it up and its a high gloss, med weight and doesnt seem too bad!
Not run it through the printer yet.. but for the price (if anyone is wondering it was £1 ) it looks ok...

i usually buy the 50 sheets from Jessops paper, thats pretty good, no idea how much it works out at though. £1 for 15 sounds ok if its good, got to go there for some garden related chuff tomorrow so will have a look!

I bought some cheap paper once - never again. The ink just sat on the surface of a paper and all the colours bled together. Faces looked like clown faces.

Hope your buy is better.

Just tested it, I need to clean the print heads, but the first impression is good!
Will run a few more tests later... but its worth a go for £1
Good gloss finish to it..

Ran off a few more prints, they look ok... but you look closer and the ink is sat on the paper where it is saturated the greatest.

So in conclusion...
Worth £1 for printing pictures for friends and family.. but if you want really good results you need to spend more!

I bought Tesco photo paper, which was pretty good. Not a massively noticeable difference from the Epson stuff I'd used before. However, once my 3rd party ink cartridges are empty I'll probably get some proper Epson ones - that's been quite a big difference.

I use 3rd party cartridges, and they are fine!
no real noticable difference from the Epson ones.
