I too find the sheets expensive, and have had issues with them binding up when run through the printer (have actually ruined 2 printers this way).
But, my favorite method of photo printing, always works out, and is so much fun! It only does 2 colors, but is so beautiful. I do Cyanotype printing.
Below are some of my quilts, done with this method.
