Hello all,
I've done a search and can't find anything.
What do you all use for photo paper? I need some refills and don't know what to get, it's been so long since I bought any!
TIA!

My absolute favourite paper for printing photos is "Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster". I don't think they sell it in 4x6 packages so I buy it in 8 1/2 x 11 and trim it down. I'm not a fan of glossy prints so that's why I love this paper. It's pricy but I signed up for email alerts and I buy it when they have the 50% off sales.

I use the paper that comes with the Picture Mate ink cartridge.

I bought the Epson brand glossy paper from Amazon, but I like luster better. |

All my photo size paper I get free as handouts at scrapbook and rubber stamp shows. I don't have a small photo printer, so I just have a big pile of it.
For my Epson WP4530 I get my photo paper at Costco 150 sheets per box. I also get some at garage sales and thrift shop.

I always wondered why only glossy was available, but I never thought about just trimming down a 8.5x11. Genius!! |

I don’t care for glossy and use HP premium soft gloss paper. Watch for it at staples or office max/depot and you can score a box of 100 pieces for around $10... no cutting down required 😉

I really love the Epson Ultra Premium. I get it at Target in 8.5x11 when they run 50% off sales. I trim it down for 3x8 photos.
I use the Epson Premium 4x6 mainly. I also get it from Target on sale. (Right now it's 6.99 online for 100 sheets)

I prefer the Canon photo paper, it's a touch heavier. I use the gloss. Works fine in the PM.

Thats where I got confused. Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking the one I had was the 400, but apparently not. |

I am beyond grumpy that Epson do not sell the picture mate anymore in NZ and Australia. I have toyed with the idea of buying the new PM from amazon and shipping it here ( at some ridiculous cost) but then to get the ink sent over would be horrific as well. So I am stuck using my little PM235 ( and its getting harder to get the toner for this anymore as well )

It's premium semi-gloss. I love it!
