    If you have a Canon, Epson, or HP inkjet printer and you use Canon, Epson, or HP ink­jet papers with it, you'll get more or less predictable results. Each printer's driver is expecting its own company's papers, and its inks are made to interact with them. That's great -- unless you want to mix it up and print on any of a huge variety of interesting third-party inkjet papers.
