| 632044 | 2008-01-20 06:06:00 | Hi, have done a quick search of the forum nothing jumped out at me so here goes. I run a Canon Pixma and often print photos, I usually use 6x4 photo paper but wish to up size to 7x5 paper but cannot find a supplier does any one know if its available in that size and if so where? I don't want to step up to A4 paper but might have to consider it and cut it in half. I used to have my photo's developed at 7x5 when I used 35mm film and liked the size. Any help would be useful thanks |

| 632046 | 2008-01-20 06:31:00 | HP, Epson and Canon all have 5 x 7 Photo paper, any place that sells these brands should be able to get it, or have in in stock. Maybe some one like the Stationary Warehouse, Whitcoulls, or even photo shops should all have it. No idea of the cost though. Have a look at This Place (https://www.consumables.co.nz/), they may have what you are after, and they don't charge the earth. Edited - Epson have it in 5 x7 NZ Comsumables (www.consumables.co.nz) Same site as a bove. $14.00 / 20 sheets |

| 632049 | 2008-01-20 23:03:00 | One option could be to by pass the traditional supply options, eg, Stationary Warehouse, and try calling by any of the printing companies. We get a lot of our photo print paper and other from one of the printing companies in Chch, some of it is off cuts and some is half used packets etc. Fraction of the cost of going to the shops. | PinoyKiw (9675) | ||
| 632050 | 2008-01-20 23:12:00 | If you are going to use off brand photo papers they may not print that well. Because your Canon printer is shipped with paper color profiles and the printer is optimised with Canon paper. You can get some independent paper types that has downloadable printer profiles but they may be for more the higher printers. You can always buy a packet and try it out .. some papers will work fine but there are some that may not work that well .. |

That is true, we use Epson rather then Canon but same applied, once we found the paper that suited our printing needs, that is what we stayed with. |
