Trusted Reviews tested 4 inkjet printers with 5 papers and 5 different inks, looking to see how well printed images stood up after 12 months.
Their conclusion: the best results came from the Canon Pixma MP600 printer with original ink – paper didn’t seem to matter much. And if you’re too cheap to buy brand names and insist on generic/3rd party ink to save a few pennies, try Cartridge World.

It’s a nice game.
Generic ink rules! Cheap, and I don’t notice a difference, although friends of mine insist that they can.
Interesting that the paper doesn’t matter much. What’s the benefit of more expensive paper, then?
Expensive paper might not look better than cheap paper in terms of the printing quality, but it feels better and lasts longer.
