Re: Photo Paper Compatibility

I believe Consumer Reports recommended manufacturers' brand for paper (as
well as ink cartridges. However, I'd suggest that you would probably do well
just using your stock of HP paper until it runs out no matter what the
brand. You might go down to a local computer store when they are not busy
(Sunday morning?) and ask them to print something on your paper with
different printers to see the quality.

I've read that photo paper should be 'matched' to the printer or, I
suppose. the type of ink a printer uses. I have rather a large stock
of HP Premium Gloss Photo paper and presently use a HP930c printer. I
am thinking of buying a new printer and note that the Canon series
come highly recommended. Can I use the HP paper with a Canon machine
without degrading the image significantly or am I 'locked' into HP
machine.

As a follow up, the HP 930c is still in good working order. Am I
likely to see a significant/worthwhile improvement in print quality by
buying a more recent machine?

I will appreciate your guidance
