Has anyone tried printing pics from the K750 on photographic paper using the normal "post-card" size?
If so, how does it turn out?
Thanks. |

yep. I bought this HP Photosmart 325 from a member here and take it to kids parties and nights out at friends and its been alot of fun.
I take quick snaps with my K750 and others take snaps with their cameras and we're generally pleased with the results

i've also tried having a couple of unaltered night shots taken by my k750 printed on 5R at a kodak express store & they came out nicely, didn't look like it was taken from a digicam at all! the clerks & photogs said 2mp digicam shots can be printed up to 8R, unless you didn't fix the settings (esp night shots) and there are already noise (which you can already see on your display, actually, and which can be eliminated by some software alteration on a computer). here in manila, it comes out cheaper (& on nicer kodak photopaper), than buying sheets of photo paper for laser/inkjet printers and printing it myself. |

I've heard that HP photoprinters use up alot of ink and that the ink cartridges are quite pricey, how much of this is true?
Thanks. |

I guess it can be costly but staples did a special pack recently with the ink and a wad of photo paper for £17.99 so I got a few of those.
Normally I think they are over £25 just for the ink

johnpete, what do you expect from night shots without flash??? even with normal digicams the results aren´t good...
But i made some k750 shots at night inside a restaurant with lots of ambient light and the prints come out ok in my hp 8150
Of cousre, when i printed daylight photos they come out even better

Update: I just printed a couple of pics from my K750 at a kodak express kiosk on photographic paper and I must say the results are....Amazing!  I showed them to a friend and he thought they were from my 7.2mp cybershot! 
Just thought I'd share. |

Arez, they're alright as long as you keep the aperture opening wide & set the shutter speed setting at a long enough interval. Thankfully, the K750's shutter speed can be controlled manually when in night mode. Needless to say, everything will still come out crappy if my hands aren't steady enough. I wish someone will come out with a (leather) case for the K750 that has a tripod attachment thingie on the side, that would really be useful with my tiny tabletop tripod that I used to pocket around with my old 4.0 megapixel cybershot!
Here are some unaltered night shots from my K750:
