If you do nothing else, consider buying inkjet matte paper that has a
proper coating for producing excellent inkjet prints. One of the best I
have used is Staples photo supreme double sided matte paper which is
presently on sale two-for-one. I have purchased it on rare occasion for
about $2 a pack of 50 sheets.

As usual in 'Rip off U.K.' we pay through the nose for photographic
supplies - £7 ($14) for 25 sheets of Staples Photo Supreme, gloss or
satin!

Generally, Glossy or satin finish papers cost more than inkjet coated matte
paper. I have used several brands, including Epson, Kodak, and Staples.
Any one of these produces better, more saturated photo prints than plain
paper. I don't know if any stores in the UK run periodic sales, but that is
what I would look for. The paper I mentioned, Staples photo supreme double
sided paper, sells for about $12 for 50 sheets when not on sale. I like
this particular paper because the weight is a reasonably stiff card stock
and is suitable for greeting cards printed on bothsides. I also bought some
Kodak matte paper when our local Costco carried it. I use it for other
projects that don't require the heavier weight stock. Unfortunely, Costco
only carried it for a short time. It was a great buy.
