I have a Canon G3000 Printer and Kodak Ultra Premium Photo Paper (270 gsm, Resin Coated). Please advise me on the correct settings to be used in the Printer for printing on this photo paper. I meant, the type of paper that is equivalent to this Kodak Paper. Also, is there any additional settings to be done to print on this type of papers?

Using third party papers without custom ICC profiles can be hit and miss. Frequently selecting the Canon media type that is closest to the paper you are using will work well. Depending on what the surface of the Kodak paper is like I would try Photo Paper Pro Platinum and Photo paper Pro Luster and see how they print.

I've got some old Kodak photo paper in various sizes - packages and boxes - that one would use if they had their own darkroom. I'm guessing it was purchased new in the 90s or early 2000s. Some is unopened, some has been opened. I have no clue if it ages and goes bad. Hate to toss it if it's still good and someone with a film photography hobby would be glad to have it.

If you are going to list here then I would just make it crystal clear in the listing what the expiration dates are if the boxes do show expiration dates. I would mention them in the description AND show the dates in a photo.

There are artists who specialize in vintage repro photos and they always need film, paper, chemicals, etc. Ive sold all kinds of cameras - Polaroids, instamatics, etc. Folks snapped them up. I was glad. Knowing nothing about photograpy or cameras I was ready to toss them.

Anything still sealed may or may not be good, a lot depends on where and how it was stored. Stored properly, like in a dark closet with low humidity, it could last for decades. Four factors that can damage photo papers: light, humidity, heat and exposure to chemicals or air pollutants.

I sold about 8 boxes of photo paper here a couple of years ago - some people purchased two boxes and it went pretty quickly. There's definitely interest in things like that from people who do art photography, special prints, etc.

I would be worried about the paper being still viable. There should be an expiration date on each of the packages labels. While I've seen photographic paper way out of date still be able to produce an image, there is likely to be some degradation to that image. Much depends upon the way the product has been stored.


The problem with selling anything that might not be good for a lower price is it either works or it doesn't and the buyer can return it if it doesn't work. You are almost better off guaranteeing it will work and refunding if it doesn't.

You're better off selling it in a free "for sale" forum on a site dedicated to the practice of traditional photographic processes. I've never had someone who knew what they were buying ask to return it.

Why will my printer not accept Kodak ultra premium 6x4 photopaper it just says load paper into tray, I have tried all ways putting in 5 papers and then up to 9 papers all to no avail, the printer accepts all other papers I have tried.

Attached are a couple photos of the Kodak Photo Hobby Printer, which was supposedly sold for beginner use back in the 40's or 50's. As I look at it, it's laughable. But maybe somebody else knows something I don't know. One light bulb at one end of the box. And while this one seems to be missing its glass, I happen to know they were sold with clear glass, not opal or frosted. I also suppose the printer was meant to be used with something like Velox paper, which was a slow chloride paper discontinued many years ago. But even with that, it seems like there would had had to be a terrible hot-spot in the print. No evenness in lighting at all. I'd like to hear other opinions. Is this a piece of junk that Kodak should have known better than to even market at all?

That sounds about like the one I got in 1967, from a Goodwill store. Except that the top was padded with felt, instead of rubber. Also, there were springy metal strips to hold each half (well, not quite half as the hinge wasn't centered) down. It had clear glass, no red light, and a 10W bulb. The smaller bulb would have the top not so close to the paper. Also, it was a clear bulb, though maybe not the original. The white inside the box means that light goes all directions, which I suspect mostly removes any hot spot. I don't remember a hot spot, anyway. It also came with a red Kodak Brownie safelight, at the time when they came with yellow and green filters. I believe that dates it to before 1956, when VP replaced Verichrome. Also, a 4 ounce measuring device. (I still have the safelight and measuring device.)

Reminds me, a few years ago I saw another Kodak contact printer in a Goodwill store. Wooden, much bigger than the one described, and with four 150W bulbs. Probably belongs in a museum, but I didn't buy it. As well as I know it, in the early days contact prints were done with "printing out", and no developer. That would take a lot of light. (Or a sunny day.)

Somewhere in my collection of photo books I recall an article about printing out in sunlight using a special wood and glass frame, haven't an idea which book it might be in or what media, but the recollection is clear.

A company called 'Johnson's' made a contact printing frame with only clear glass in it. It was my first venture into photographic printing and it worked fine when exposed under a normal room ceiling light, or in sunlight when exposing printing-out-paper.

The use of, or lack of, frosted glass will make little difference to light fall off when placed close to the negative. Light from the bulb will be subject to inverse-square-law falloff between the centre of the neg and its corners. Moderated somewhat by the size of the opal bulb envelope and the white reflector box surrounding it.

It also has to be remembered that the Cos^4 falloff of any camera lens results in the corners of negatives being less well exposed than the centre. This effect is practically equal and opposite to enlarger or contact-printer vignetting.

This needs only a solution of gum Arabic, Potassium b(d)ichromate, a sheet of plain paper and some ink or powder pigment of your choice. Plus hot water for development - no fixer. However the image is quite faint and needs a longer/brighter exposure than POP.
