I like to put mine in a photo album, so most I resize to 4x6, some I print as an 8x10 so I can frame it if I want! I use Kodak photo paper

matt or shiny?

I ever purchased special card paper with one side grossy and one side matte and designed the card with two sides. Most photos go to the grossy side and texts go to the matte side. Pretty good effect.

I've been using the High gloss, love the result, but I accidentally bought matt last time, so I'll see how that looks!!! :)

My sister is a photographer and she has always told me to use matte photo paper. It is great. I hope this helps.

I always send mine to WalMart.com or Walgreens.com and have them printed there. When you figure in the costs of paper and ink it is a lot more economical and the pictures last a lot longer.

I use HP premium photo paper. I have tried other kinds and find that the price is well worth the cost. The paper is such high quality and the images turn out clear and sharp. I've tried matte and glossy. For photos, I use matte...but for my layouts, I like the look of the glossy. I print as large as I can which is an 8x8. I would love to be able to afford a large-scale printer...but at $600 I'm not able to get one...yet!

I use and HP Printer and HP photo paper most of the time. I also use card stock. For layouts I want to print I design them as 8x10 when printed as 8.5" x 11" it leaves a "trimable" edge on all sides of the paper
