Help with digital stuff

[candleonwater]

I am someone who is just starting to scrapbook - as in, I just bought some of the supplies, but haven't even taken them out of the bag!

I never scrapbooked in the past - was not willing to cut up photos for any reason. I went digital this spring and now, since I can print out whatever I want... why not try it?!

I did a LOT of research on cameras - finally settled on the Nikon CoolPix 995 - expensive at the time, but with the number of pictures I have taken - I've ALREADY recouped the cost. I use a color laser printer and have been very happy with the results (have not felt the need to have the pictures printed on photo paper)... but I'm curious to know what will and what won't work (paper-wise) for archival purposes...

You can buy acid free printer paper at Walmart or office supply stores. The question I would have is how permanant is the color printer ink? I don't know if the colors will stay "true" over time.
