I have been using Canon semingloss paper and really like it (coming from ordering Persnickety's matte prints). They sell 50 packs of 4x6 on Amazon. The only thing that I have to be careful with is that you cannot pull up and reposition any embellishments or alpha stickers....so that requires some planning and commitment! I bought mine last month and am pleased to be caught up with my DD to Christmas Day thanks to it. I am really excited to try weekly PL spreads for the first time in 2017. I have always done monthly since 2010. I am planning on binge watching the videos from Ali's storytelling with PL class to get motivated while we are on vacation over the rest of break. Just curious -- have you tried any of the other paper finishes? Like matte or pro platinum?

Just curious -- have you tried any of the other paper finishes? Like matte or pro platinum? Not yet. I wanted instant gratification when I ordered so I was a bit limited by what I could get on Amazon prime that was 4x6 (I didn't want to fuss with cutting it myself).

I am so happy every time I see a Selphy user convert over to the Picturemate.

Thought I'd come back and enable anyone looking for matte-ish photo paper I recently ran out of the Canon paper I had been ordering from Amazon and picked up some HP soft gloss paper at Office Max in a pinch. Turns out I liked it even better than the Canon. So I was there today for something else and noticed a sale sign when I was walking by. Nearly half price this week at $11.49 for 100 sheets!!! Less than 50 sheets of the other on Amazon.

I also noticed when I went and looked at the package that it is 80lb and my Canon was 69. The glossy epson I have was only 52. That is quite a range.

Less than 50 sheets of the other on Amazon. I purchased that paper on clearance from Best Buy for $4.99 a pack!!! I purchased 15 packs for that price. Looks like yours is $0.1149 sheet and mine cost $0.124 a sheet so pretty close! This paper is AMAZING! It does look matte, and I actually love this paper. Edited to say it looks like they still have the paper at Best Buy for that price. Here is the link: www.bestbuy.com/site/epson-premium-semigloss-photo-paper-white/7635222.p?skuId=7635222

It sounds like it does better prints than the Selphy? Here is a comparison I did. The prints are definitely better!

Have any of you that have one had any issues with the print heads clogging up if you don't use it frequently? That is the issue I had with the older Epson Picturemate Charm. Since this thread has come back up, I'd thought I'd chime in and say that I haven't used my printer since early December 2016. I needed to quickly print some photos for my grandsons science project today, Feb 1, 2017. I turned it on, it connected easily to my iPhone, and printed a photo perfectly the first time after not being used in about 8-9 weeks. I'm super impressed!

I even paid $12.00 for shipping to get it overnight from Amazon tomorrow, lol. My Prime would have delivered on Monday and hello...I wasn't going to let a weekend go by! Off to order the paper that Patter linked to on Best Buy too. I'm not a glossy print gal so I think that paper will be perfect! I'm so excited!

I got mine the day before Thanksgiving with my prime but the carrier lost the box with my extra ink over the holiday weekend....it was not pretty. If you need immediate gratification on the non-glossy paper, the HP soft gloss you can get from office max is my fave (as if you need any more enabling from me).

I have loads of HP Soft Gloss Premium Photo Paper at home that I use with my current HP printer! I wonder if maybe I shouldn't have ordered the Epson paper from BB.
