Inkjet papers are coated with proprietary coatings that chemically grab the ink and lock it to the paper surface. If your paper is coated with an incompatible chemical, it won't work with the inks in your printer. HP inks work fine with HP paper. Epson inks work fine with Epson paper. Canon inks work fine with Canon paper.

Many third party papers are coated with universal receptors, but not all are! If you try enough third party papers, you'll find some that are disasters.

Thanks, good to know. HP was the only problem paper.

Print Paper

The only paper I had trouble with was HP.
I use Canon printers, a pro 100, and an ancient pro 9000. My local Staples had HP 4x6 on sale. It never dried, it was awful. It was sticky and streaked. I returned the remaining portion with the sticky prints to prove me story. That's tho only print problem I have ever had with my current setup.

Tractors, Guys!!!

Beautiful machines. I have a neighbor who is quite the enthusiast. He restores them, and has several in various stages of restoration. Thanks for posting these.

I have the same printer, I mostly use Canon and Kodak. I recently tried Ilford glossy paper 11 x 17in. and I'm very happy with the results.

Cattle Tyrant

Very nice captures, but he probably won't survive very long. They need others of their own species nearby. I found out about this when I rescued a fledgling sparrow. He was fine for a couple days, then he stopped eating and died a couple days later. I bought a book about caring for wildlife, and the bird had no other sparrows to communicate with. What I found out was that birds especially need to hear their own kind to grow and survive.
