Photography Paper or plain bond printing paper.

I know all of you have more experience than I do. I am just a beginner in photography so I do not know many things. I wonder if you could use a photography paper to have your photos done however it is not a bond printing paper enough if you want to have a quicky one ready?
Any answers on this?

Welcome to UHH. I use photo paper as it is glossy and colors are more intense. Just my opinion.

That depends so much on the printing technology.
Generally ink jet output looks better on specialized photographic paper; matt or glossy or several varients inbetween.

Bond paper is only a small improvement over toilet paper.
If it is an image worth printing, use photo paper. The cheapest photo paper is 238% better than bond paper.

A printed page of text will have about 2-10% of its surface covered with ink.
A printed photo will have about 80-100% of its surface covered with ink.
Bond, or copy paper is not stable enough to support an 80-100% ink saturation. You'll find it wrinkles and generally looks dull and "fuzzy", NOT the way you want a photo to look.
When the ink is worth more than the paper it's riding on, you'll know you're heading in the wrong direction!
Good question!

Calvete as all have stated it can be done. and I'm sure the Captian is dead-on at 238%. Some printers will print on almost anything. I assume your printer is a regular non-photo printer. If you wanted to experiment with a small wallet size in the corner of the paper you could find a good bond paper that would do pretty well and get a ream of it. Yes for a quickie you could use regular bond paper. But why? Go to Costco and buy a box of 150 sheets of 8.5x11 glossy for $18.00. That's just over 10 cents per piece and if you like the quickie proof you can frame it. I did a photo spread for a recycle company on 100% recycled grocery paper bag stock and it worked wonderfully, but not as well as photo paper.

If you use bond paper, you better have a great relationship with the nearest store that sells ink.
Bond paper is intended to be use for documents mainly
If you have prints you want to print go buy a sampler pack of photo paper that is designed for your printer, i.e. Epson, Canon etc.
If you want to have some photo paper Costco's photo paper is a good purchase especially at the price $18.00 for 150 sheets. The usual or nearly usual price for Kodak equiv paper was $19.99 or more for 75 sheets.

I print on bond paper with my plotters when doing construction documents...my cover sheets which usually contain before and after photos of the job within the documents...however I do NOT use bond for the cover, even for proofs.. we will switch out the bond for a higher quality paper for our cover sheets. You may get away with Premium coated bond which we use for proofs do to cheaper costs. IMO, Bond paper reproduces very dull and off color dark prints aside from absorbing so much ink that if left alone it'll mogul (my word for ripple/buckle) to the point an ant would find it one heck of a ski area. of coarse if one could ski... :-D
