Quality Paper for EPSON 2200


Recommended Posts

I am looking for high quality inkjet papers to use in my Epson 2200.

So far I have samples from Red River, Pictorico, Lumijet, and Epson.

What other manufactures are there that make very high quality

papers? I will be profiling each paper for best results. I tend to

lean toward E finish or Matte type papers.

For commercial work, clients really seem to like the Heavyweight Archival Matte for Epson. Fine with me , it only cost $17.00 for 50 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. For my printing with color negs and chromes, I prefer the Epson Semigloss(real photograph feel to it) and the Watercolor Radiant White. 13x19's look better than sending negs to a custom lab.

 

Ilford's Smooth Pearl and Smooth Gloss work well also, but do not expect a very glossy look to the Smooth Gloss compared to Epson's Glossy. Both are heavyweight paper.

A lot of retailers sell "sampler packs" that generally include 2 sheets each of various kinds of paper. This might be a good, economical way to try a lot of papers.

 

Also, when you finish testing, would you mind posting the results here?
