I use a Cannon Pixma MP500 printer. I like that it has 4 cartridges (yellow, magenta, cyan, black) for printing images & colored print-outs plus a bigger black cartridge for printing documents & black & white print-outs. When I used the HP I went through black ink like crazy.

I mostly use the cheap 20lb paper that Wal-Mart sells for around $3 a ream. I think the finished model looks better with lighter paper, especially if there are lots of details or small parts. I only use card stock if the model is going to be handled a lot or is being made for a child. I use 80lb cardstock, also cheap from Wal-Mart.

Several years ago I made the busts of Dracula & Frankenstein from the light paper. I decorate with them every Halloween & they still look really good.

I'm interested to know which printer (and paper) other papercrafters use for papercraft?

I asked the question on my papercraft weblog:

http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/2016/03/what-kind-of-printer-do-you-use-for.html

So you can leave a comment there (you can stay anonymous, since you don't need to have a Blogger account or log in to leave a comment on my papercraft webpage ;o)

Or here, if you prefer; I just hope people are willing to share their experiences with printers for papercraft!

Thanks in advance!
