100 Sheets 5x7 Mirror Glossy Photo Paper 260gsm-Very HQ
0n my cheap canon I 250, cartridges of ebay are 99p, I bought 100 sheets of 5x7 Pro Photo paper of ebay for £8.94 inc delivery, I printed 10 pics so far and IMO, if they were done by a lab or me 10yrs ago I would not notice, they are good for cheep pics.
Cheap inks are pretty good for most stuff, although the colours are questionable at times and longevity of the prints are not as good as they have a tendancy to fade much sooner than the canon/hp/epson ones.
Anything you want to put in an album I would just use an online service like Photobox. Although for day to day stuff, the 3rd party ones cannot be beaten.
I found that laminating them can help a bit as the inks oxidise in air, got the idea from a photographic magazine article. It also stops grubby little hands smearing the ink all over the place.

Thats a trading fact, non genuine cartridges are weak in colour, I expected that, but these prints are superb, the only question is longevity, Ill suggest to the kids the get them laminated, like Serious said, lol we read the same mag.

£8.94 + cost of inks. = 100 prints.
8p a print... I can get 111 professionally printed prints for the same price as just your paper..
Not so cheep pics now.

Its ok if your pictures are as 1, but I literally have 1000s all over the place.
There is also the problem of when you only want a few prints quickly. Much easier to just print them out and be done with it. If you do need a lot then the bucket sites/shops are the way to go.

Most photo places will do it. As soon as you start hitting 100 prints, they lower the prices considerably.
