I think i'm going to switch to photo-paper it make everything look Awesome!!! is it expensive? From my recent experiences with photo paper for minis and download-and-print scenery, initially it may be somewhat expensive, because you may find you have to experiment with different types to see what works better with your printer (like printers, all photo papers are not created equal...). Once you've fixed on the right kind of paper - both for weight and surface - you should be able to take advantage of the bulk(ier) purchase options most online retailers have available, so the unit cost per sheet goes down. If you're lucky, you may find an online retailer that does sampler packs - different weights and surfaces, but with only a few sheets per pack. That makes experimenting easier and cheaper than, say, buying a 50- or 100-sheet pack, only to find your printer chews it up instead of printing on it, or the finished quality isn't as good as a slightly different weight/surface paper.

I use Canon matte photo paper for all of my miniature prints. Last year an online retailer was selling 50 packs for $5 each so I loaded up. It's rated at about 65lbs for strength and has an A side and a B side.
For models and terrain I use 80lb or 110lb bright cardstock from Hammermill or Georgia Pacific.

I use Staples double-sided matte photo paper for everything now. For a long time they were having them on sale free after rebate or $1 after rebate. I've got ~ 2000 sheets under my desk. I guess the key is to keep an eye out for sales!

Yay! more Splinterwood Elves in the shops for sale I like HP printers too, but I found that on some models refilling cartridges can lead to mysterious shorts and circuits going 'fut' when they sometimes develop leaks after being refilled once too often. Mostly I buy my printers second hand for cheap and when they finally stop working I don't shed any tears over it. When Windows 8 came out lots of inkjet printers flooded the second hand market due to driver issues (ie: none were available for those printer models). However I have a clever daughter who has studied computer science and does highly esoteric software development from home so a lack of a particular printer driver is never a problem for me

I have had a Cannon printer (once the reservoir filled up it stopped printing. POS)
Then I had an HP, it was alright, but the ink was very expensive.
Then I had a Brother Multi-Function Copier - great machine, did all kinds of stuff, but you couldn't use cheap or refillable ink in it and you had to take out a mortgage for the regular stuff.
Now, I just got an Epson Small-in-One, $79 and the ink is Black $12 and Color $24 and so far I'm in love with.
