Recently we've had some disappointing results when printing some of our photographs. We're trying to get together a collection of favourites to frame and put up in our house in France. We've used a variety of photo papers, and I just wonder if anyone else has any particular favourite paper which prints successfully. We have an HP 8600 printer, which has new inks, but on photo paper (both matt and gloss finish) the ink seems to run and bleed and the overall image is very poor. On 'normal' paper the quality of the printing is better, and the detail much clearer, but the photo looks a bit 'dead'.
When printing to photo paper we select the appropriate settings, but still no joy. Our previous HP printer used to work fine - but we haven't done much printing recently. Anyone got any tips? We might even invest in a new printer if someone can recommend one which prints photographs as well as our old one! (Trouble is I can't remember what model it was!!!)
