I’m looking for a photo printer that can print photo-album pages on thick paper or heavier photo media. Which types of printers are suitable for this, and what printer features should I look for to improve compatibility with thick sheets?

I'm not sure how thick the paper you're talking about is, but I have a Canon Pixma Pro9000, and because it has a straight paper path as an option, I can run large (13x19") and thick papers through it. I've used some heavy duty papers and not had any difficulties. The printer is not all that expensive for the quality and reliability I've gotten from it.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
For thick photo paper or album-page stock, look for a printer with a straight paper path or rear/manual feed. That design helps heavier media pass through with less bending, which improves reliability.
From the community feedback, one example is the Canon Pixma Pro9000, which has a straight paper path option and has been used successfully with large sheets up to 13x19 inches and heavy-duty papers.
So the key requirement is less about one exact model and more about media handling: check the printer’s supported paper thickness/weight and whether it offers a straight-through feed for heavier fine-art or photo papers.
