Fact #1. The oldest known printed photograph dates from 1826. It was taken by a Frenchman. The basic, grainy image, while not in-and-of-itself remarkable, is a forebear of modern media writ large. The first commonly printed photographs the world ever saw were called Daguerreotypes. These images were small, often dark, and usually poor in clarity. They were the only readily-available form of photography from the 1830s into the 1850s.
Fact #2. With the relatively low-cost and high-quality of printers nowadays, printing photos at home has never been a more approachable undertaking. Choosing a great printer is a fine start. However, keep in mind that you can't print great photos on regular printer paper and expect them to look like anything special.
Fact #3. The most important consideration to make when choosing the right photo paper is size. If you're planning on printing a plethora of standard four-by-six inch photos for use in smaller frames, then by all means order paper that comes in that size. The same is true if you're certain you'll be using frames or photo albums that were designed to accommodate five-by-seven inch pictures.
Fact #4. Consider the finish you prefer in your photos, which is to say matte or glossy. There's no objective right or wrong choice when it comes to choosing a minimally-reflective matte finish or a high-shine gloss paper. The matter is largely subjective based on taste, with a few other considerations to weigh.
Fact #5. You should also consider how often you print photos and how many you're likely to print. Let this thought process guide the quantity of photo paper you order at any given time. While ultimately less expensive than prints made by a shop, printing photos at home using your own paper and printer is not exactly cheap.
