Yes. There are different types of paper available on the market. Printer manufacturers tend to design their printer and paper to produce the quality they believe looks best.  Different inkjet printers use different inks, the print heads work differently and they have different textures. It is for this reason that the printer manufacturer’s paper normally produces the best results with your printer.

This does not mean that you must only use the paper from your printer’s manufacturer. I have tested a lot of generic brands with some Epson and hp printers and discovered that some brands give a similar quality result as the manufacturer?s paper, but some brands tend to give a really dull result. Using some generic brands of printer paper can save you a lot of money, so you may need to try out several brands to find one that works correctly with your printer.

One common problem when using gloss paper that is not compatible with your printer’s ink is called bronzing. One of the main causes of bronzing is because the paper cannot absorb the ink correctly.
