For printers, ink, nozzles, paper and so on are an organic whole, and manufacturers know the performance of ink best. Therefore, if compatible photo printing paper is used, ink may penetrate into paper fibers before drying, which directly leads to color distortion and reduced image resolution. It is wrong because the quality of some compatible photographic papers is even higher than that of original photographic papers. For example, Kodak's Royal Premium Inkjet Paper is the top photographic paper on the market, and its effect is better than some low-end original photographic papers. At the same time, if some daily photos are not prepared for long-term preservation, there is no need to use original photo paper, just ordinary photo paper.
At present, there are three giants in the field of inkjet printing, Canon, Epson and Hewlett-Packard, which occupy more than 80% of the market share and have numerous printing patents. Here are the original photographic papers of these companies and several other compatible photographic papers.
