Hi, My question is ... Can I use modern Printer (such as Canon TM-200) to print on old stick photographic paper.
To clarify ... paper intended to be used with enlarger/dev/fix.
Unable to test.
Will it fade or yellow?
Thanks for any input.

Why would you - since you are not exposing the paper with an image and pass through the chemical steps you are not removing the un/exposed silver in the coating which will yellow. The amount of fading of the inkjet print very much would depend on the inks you are using - OEM - 3rd party ?

The paper surface of old photographic paper is totally unfit to absorb printer ink of any kind. It will drop off like oil droplets on a teflon coated frying pan. I tried it with some old Ilford paper and it was terrible.

Thanks for the answer.
The reason .... opportunity to purchase a large quantity for next to nothing.
