What kind of paper and printer can I use? -

Every time I use photo paper the image bleeds if i spill liquid on it. what kind of printer and/or paper will prevent this? because real pictures like from kodak don t bleed. I ve used HP,Kodak, and a bunch of other brands of paper but they all have the same problem. please help.

OK, you re using photo quality paper. Are you using photo quality ink? Many printers have different types of ink. One for regular paper, and on for photo paper. I don t know what you are using for a printer, but I know this is how it is on my HP. Your only other option than getting the correct ink for this purpose is to use a heavier gage regular flat paper (Like card stock). It is not a shiny gloss finish, but the pictures come out really nice. You may even be able to compromise with a matte finished paper. I hope this helps.

You re using an inkjet printer. Inkjet ink is water-soluble - it will run if it gets wet. Pictures printed on Kodak print paper aren t printed in a printer - they re color film on a paper backing. The quot;inkquot; is silver and dye, so it doesn t run when it s wet (it s developed in water with chemicals).

Generally, there are two types of photo paper-coating technologies: swellable and nano-porous. Swellable papers, such as HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, deliver impressive image quality and fade resistance, but typically offer less impressive water resistance. Nano-porous photo paper, such as HP Advanced Photo Paper, is made up of water-insoluble ceramic pigments for instant dry time and excellent water resistance. Photos printed on nano-porous paper are better able to withstand spilled water and wet fingers. None are waterPROOF. It s not the ink, it s not totally the paper, but a combination of the two that give the best resistance to water. Check out the manufacturer s website and see if they recommend a specific paper for use with your particular cartridge/ink. Oh, and quot;realquot; pictures don t bleed, because they re not printed with inkjet technology.
