INKJET PAPER

[Bruce Osgood]

I'm looking for an Inkjet paper to print quality color images on. My printer is Epson R320. I don't like the glossy surfaces and do my B/W on fiber, warm tone papers.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks,

Epson Exhibition Fine art is a pretty good paper Bruce.

That R320 must be 7-8 years old -- 6 colors, one black, dye ink. These were good in their day, but probably time to consider a new printer if you are looking for best quality output.

Bruce,

I use the Epson and/or Innova "F" surface papers and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. The "F" surface papers are like air dried traditional silver gelatin papers the Hahnemuhle is a matte surface. Both are considered archival with the appropriate inks. Most of the major companies such as Epson, etc. have sample packs that have a couple of sheets of different papers and can be purchased That way you can try without buying a package or box of a single paper you may not be pleased with.

Thank you Jeff,
This is what I'm looking for.

I would try Hahnemuhle PhotoRag. It's hard to beat.... Canson and Crane also make some very good papers that are similar.

i am with Bob on this one, final prints are usually made on Epson Exhibition Fiber paper.

Thank you Ann, and everybody else.

I've found a rather inexpensive HP Soft Gloss paper that I'm comfortable with for day-to-day, snap-shot use, and will try the Epson Exhibition Fiber paper for the occasional Fine Art print.
