“Can you use glossy photo paper with this printer? One of the reviews said you couldn't.”

1-4 of 4 Answers

• There are some (relatively expensive) glossy laser paper products out there that work, but you should not (you will not get good results) use regular glossy photo paper. That type of paper is really intended for inkjets. I don't believe the paper will damage the printer, but the photos will be washed out as most of the toner wont "stick" to it. Even if you get the glossy laser printer, photos just wont have the same "resolution" (sharpness) as with inkjets. They're OK for brochures/presentations but I wouldn't call them OK for framing.

• I did and it worked for me. I don't know if it was the best quality because the picture was taken st a distance then printed from an iphone 5. The picture was printed on glossy photo paper and the HP printer functioned good.

• Typically you cannot use glossy paper in any laser printer as they get too hot

• You could try but this is not a photo printer. You may not get the results you would want
