Photo paper for Tektronix Phaser 550 laser color printer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

Greetings,

I would like to know which photo-quality paper is the best for printing digital images on this printer (Tektronix Phaser 550 Laser Color Printer). Would the Inkjet papers mentioned in other postings work or is there a particular type of photo-quality paper for color laser printers that works best.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stuart

Don't use inkjet papers! The coating will stick to the fuser roller and ruin it. You can only use glossy laser paper. The HP soft gloss is cheap but not too good. The tektronic gloss paper is great but nearly a buck a sheet. The only solution is to print your photos on a $200 Epson Photo 700 and use the Tektronix for proofs and business correspondence like I do.
