Good golden rule Chunky.
I didn't realise that. Just adjusted settings as they suggest, seems the trick is selecting the appropriate paper setting. Managed some sort of reasonable prints at least. Think for now I will stick with Epson inks and photo papers.The instructions included with the Kodak paper give instructions on use with other maker's printers including where to obtain the printer profiles etc.

All interesting replies , I must admit when I bought an HP deskjet 540 yonks ago I never actually used it on colour ( cartridge dried up!) So I had never given any thought to the compatibility, I'm sure many users simply grab a printer and a sheaf of photo paper. By the way ..I simply inserted the sd card in the card reader and used Easyphoto, expecting it to all be Hunky Dory ....
I've just ordered some Epson BOGOF paper from 7daystore so I will see how it goes. At this stage any prints will be for family and friends and merely a means of displaying some of my photo efforts, rather than leave them on the PC never to be seen !

I have just purchased an Epson SX 435w printer and was surprised at the quality of my first phot prints. They were so dull and lifeless, looked like underexposed photos. I was using Kodak Glossy Paper . After talking to support on line it appears it is adviseable to use the printer manufacuturers own brand due to the different printing technologies used.
I am assured if I switch to Epson paper all will be well. Is this the case ? I asumed most brands of paper would work equally well.

there are a lot more editing functions in Elements than Lightroom but Lightroom is apparently better for Cataloguing and suchlike.
If I had to make a choice I would use Elements .. purely because Lightrooms clone tool is absolute rubbish (and I don't catalogue my pictures).
Thats what I was thinking Mike , Id put "keepers" on a removable hard drive.there are a lot more editing functions in Elements than Lightroom but Lightroom is apparently better for Cataloguing and suchlike.

Not the price I'm concerned about , more ...is it better than LR3...this is also on offer at half price . Basically Im interested in correcting exposure and maybe the odd clean up of a picture , remove bits etc.If you want to know the full price go to Adobe's UK site and try to purchase it from there. It looks very good to me though.

I need some decent software to tweak my RAW pics. I assume this is now a good offer at £34.99
