Printing Photos on a multifunctions photocopier

No, the glossy photopaper's coating will melt inside the photocopier. Try to
print on standard paper, if the quality of the result pleases you (which I
doubt) you can achieve a glossy effect and protection by laminating the
sheet in a pouch. Glossy papers are made for inkjet or gel printers only.

We have had at least two people try using glossy paper in our works colour
copier, and on both occasions it cost several hundred £££ in repairs!

As copiers are based on laser printer rather than inkjet technology the
quality of photos produced is never going to be very good, even if the best
quality laser paper is used.

You're trying to do something on the cheap - I suspect you're trying to
use your own paper in the company copier.
You'll probably gum up the works as most photocopiers ose heat to seal
the colour toner to the paper.
Go out and get yourself a lovely new Canon printer (ignore the cheaper
Epsons as they cost you a lot more in terms of carts) either A4 or A3.
First of all you'll get superior prints and you won't have to keep
looking over your shoulder to see if the boss is coming.

Hello, Adrian:

Rather, laser printers are based on the earlier photocopier technology.
