I use a proper Canon paper in my printer(also a Canon 7550Pixma) and the results are fine, but on the rare occasion when we stick a picture on the wall (not in direct sunlight) it fades.

Is there any special paper for such purposes, or is there some sort of fixer used on such prints?

Lamination might be a cheaper idea all round, so thanks.
bainbrig, I have got an older one that works wirelessly with my ipad but not with my laptop, a newer one that works with both my laptop and ipad, both are all in ones that copy and scan as well, and an A3 one that is just a printer. I would have trashed the older one but have got a lot of ink for it, put it on freecycle but no one intersted and I don't want to waste the ink

Yes, Freecycle puzzles me sometimes too.

Well, I've bitten woofgang's bullet and ordered a set of Canon inks - there's a seller on eBay who sells the smaller cartridges (ie not the XL ones) for £29.99 (excluding grey) and Cartridge People sell the grey for £9.99 - so in a few days I'll swap them all over and see...

I was running out some pics of a lovely 'meadow' on next door's grass, buttercups, daisies, all sorts of wild flowers, and couldn't work out why some were good colours, some washy or grey, and the only logical conclusion was inks. Hence the bullet-biting.

I'll report back (bet you can't wait).
