Which photo paper do you use to do A4/A5 printing of your pics, just for home use? Or do you just go to somewhere like Jessops? :thinking:

Thanks! :)
 
I use Ilford Galerie. Usually the Smooth Gloss (green box). I buy it as A4 the cut it down to A5 if I want A5. I also use Canon paper in my Canons and Epson paper in my wife's Epson. We always use original inks and (touch wood) never have problems with nozzle blockages etc.

From time to time, Lidl have photo paper in stock - I have to say that for the price, it's not at all bad. Not sure I would trust it as far as print longevity goes but for reference and short term stuff, it's good value.
 
I use Canon and HP for stuff that I care about keeping. Have used some tesco value photo paper. So far have not found any faults in that.
 
Fuji Hunt is amazing.. depends on the image and what works best though. I don't do much inkjet.
 
Ilford Multigrade. Although that's not the type of answer you wanted!

iv just got some 6x4 from tesco finest range to try, they were selling packs of 50 sheets for 1/2 price, under £4, for the price its not bad results...
