Does it print nice quality pictures on photo paper?

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

I bought this printer only with the intention of printing school work. So, I haven't printed anything on photo paper with it. It does come with a small sample of photo paper, but I have never used it. It does have nice picture quality on regular paper though.

I was very pleased with the quality of print especially from a printer in this price range'

I have this printer and the photo quality depends a lot on the paper you use. Use one of the recommended HP papers and the photos will look surprisingly good. I also have a big, expensive Canon Pixma Pro 9500 Photo printer that drives me insane. It goes through the 10 color cartridges so quickly (they dry out) I'm constantly replacing them at great expense, so I actually prefer to use my HP printer for most photos.

The unit is a piece of garbage, junk, crap. Now to answer your question concerning the paper; it prints on photo paper and a few sheets are included with the unit. Buyer beware!!!

Yes. My 3180 came with some photo paper, which I've never used. After you choose print, then use the drop down menu to choose "photos". You could try printing on plain paper first and get it just where you want it, then print on photo paper.

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

Yes. I have actually never used it for photos on photo paper, just on regular paper. Prints regular stuff just fine.

Depends on your definition of "quality pictures". This printer all print acceptably, but not professional photo lab quality. There are far better printers on the market for photo printing (look for one that uses more colors).

I have not used photo paper. The quality is less than the original in both color brilliance and tone. The photos are also less sharp. But the regular paper vs photo paper probably is the major reason. I would investigate further if you are planning to use it when photo resolution is very important.

No, you could transfer your pictures to an SD card and then print from that.

Yes. You can connect camera, card or computer and print. My daughter just connects her camera to print.

No, the paper is self-inked, and you can really only print small photos. Most of the paper is peel and stick.

I have not. I have printed out several photos and not had a problem. It has been almost a year for some of them, and they still look as great as they did when I printed them. I use the best photo paper and print with the highest quality. I do not know why the age of your paper would make a difference though.

I have not tried it on actual photo paper, but it does a good-enough job on regular 11 x 17 paper.In our use case, more-importantly it is able to print without any borders even on that large paper size; in other words if so selected in preferences, it will leave no unprinted area on the edges of the page, even if it is 11 x 17.Furthermore, this model (with the two trays) allows for both automatic feed (through bottom tray) and manual feed (through bad slot) of 11 x 17 paper.And lastly, it feeds regular letter and A4 papers with the wide-edge, which seems to make the printing at least seems faster, since it ends up printing with broader strokes.

I suppose you are asking about high quality photos on photo paper. I haven't tried this, but suspect you need a much higher quality printer It does print in color. This printer is about as basic as you can get. It's fine for light home use, but not much more.

We have never tried printing photos. We use it for printing documents and presentation packages while traveling on business. It prints great color and quite quickly too.Vic Eason

Yes, directly by scanning, as a download, or by attaching camera disk. See instructions for each application. Actually it is quite inexpensive and convenient. I purchase high quality photo paper @$20/100 sheets in 8"x11" size. The quality of the photos is excellent.
