Do Dye Inks and Pigment Inks Printers Require Different Types of Inkjet Papers?

[Tom-Thomas]

Given that it's marketed as part of the Frontier product line, it's aimed at low- to mid-volume photofinishing on a regular paper paper, not a film of some sort. Indeed, the specifications support this: https://www.fujifilm.com/us/en/busi...lab-solutions/frontier-s-dx100/specifications

Indeed the DX100 printers are primarily made for the mini-lab market, consumer grade printing (that is to say, as oppose to professional grade).

My friend owns and runs a small camera shop which does limited amount of consumer grade printing. The reason he is giving away the papers is that his DX100 has been broken and the cost to repair it far exceeds what it's worth to the business. He has since changed to use a dye-sub printer and thus has no use of the Fuji papers.

I have had him printed a few prints for me with this paper using the DX100 in the past and I quite like it, so I am interested in taking the papers off his hand. I hate wasting stuff.

OP asked whether the paper "may cause a mess with my Canon pigment ink printer..." He didn't ask whether the print will look good or colors will be right out of the box [...]

Exactly.

That's why you have to try and see.

I have a X-Rite profiler which I am planning to use to generate a profile for it.

How much does it take for the OP to take a piece and print something.

Just do it....

It won't take much at all for me to try a few small prints. But I am reluctant to try before I find a more definitive answer to my question — my printer costs a whole lot more than a few rolls of this paper.

I'm glad that we've returned to polite discourse ... hostility appears to have vanished. Happy New Year to all

Happy New Year to you too!

Peace...

Well, too bad I'm a continent away from you, because I'd have gladly done the experiment for you. Perhaps someone else will do the same. I wouldn't sweat it, but my 3880 is an old beater machine, so I don't sweat it if there's a little mishap here or there.
