All of us with who print photos at home know both how expensive photo paper is, and how often a sheet gets messed up. For some reason, the computer very often gets some flaw and ruins a sheet of perfectly good paper. The special coating on the paper is on there very good, and the ink used in most printers
is soluble in a lot of things. This idea uses a specially formulated solvent and a special wipe which, when one sprays the solvent on and lets it sit for a minute or two, they use the special wipe to wipe it off. Then, they can use it again. I know you're thinking that this is impossible, but I actually was able to put some hand sanitizer on some photo paper, which dissolved the ink, but some residue was left from the cheap hand sanitizer. Also, I had to use a kleenex to wipe it off, which also didn't help much. However, this is completely bakeable with the right solvent and a special wipe.

Methinks the incremental cost of the solvent plus the effort involved will be more than the incremental cost of a sheet of photo paper. |

And thanks for that, RT. I've been wrestling with printing photos for a few months now and wondering if there's a better way. There's neither an ASDA nor a Walmart near me, but I can at least search for the process. |

[Doc], I've done a couple sets straight from my Compact Flash card, at Wal-Mart. The photos are indistinguishable from ordinary pictures as [Rods] said, Kodak logo and all. Very impressive. They were about 40 cents a print, and they accidentally gave me double prints, so I got a great deal. |
