Roll Paper vs. Sheet Paper

I am looking for a photo printer. I noticed that some printers take
roll papers (like Epson Stylus Photo 960). I'd like to know the
differences between roll papers and sheet papers. I guess aRoll Paper
gives you the choice of printing panoramas. But I'll mainly print
4x6's. In this case, which one is more convenient (Epson 960 has a
automatic roll paper cutter). How about the cost per 4x6 sheet? I'd
appreciate any comment/opinion.

Thanks,

----Ryan

The only way that I know of to buy roll paper is to order it directly from
the manufacturer of the printer. I have never seen it in the stores,
perhaps someone can correct me on this, I'm sure someone will if I am in
err. I know I have looked for it in the past and haven't been able to find
it at Officemax, Office Depot, Staples (stateside stores).

Atlex is *not* a manufacture of anything. They are a distributor of printers
and supplies and sell well below most sources. They carry Epson, HP, Canon,
Lexmark, Brother, Okidata, Kodak/Encad, and Panasonic.

So Harry, like I said.

Well, that's not what *he* said, but never mind. You can also buy roll
paper directly from Calumet.

I have the Epson 825(last years model) and have used the 4x6 roll
paper. I buy it at Fry's and its 14.99 for the roll. It makes 52 4x6
prints with extra white paper to cut them down. If you didnt use that
feature you mite get more if you print the photos back to back. They
only thing I dont like about the roll is that the prints curl, so you
have to put them under weight to flatten them out.
