best photo quality paper for digi prints
your opinion please? TBM- In spite of all the hyperbole about Epson, Kodak, et cetera, I find that the house-brand "Premium High Gloss Photo Paper" from Office Depot, is as good as any I've tried. Of course it is for an inkjet printer. If you want glossy paper for a laser printer, there are fewer choices. HP and Xerox are the only ones I've found, and few stores carry them. In my opinion, glossy laser prints are not as nice as those from inkjet printers. Fred |

Try the Ilford Galerie papers - I've had very good results and seen little
fading in my prints. BTW, you'll find some tonal differences between gloss, semi-gloss, pearl, and matte papers. It's worth experimenting. ~Ray "tbm" wrote in message ... your opinion please? many thanks, regards to all from TBM... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

... your opinion please? many thanks, regards to all from TBM... Use paper from the same manufacturer as your printer. In my experience, the paper is designed to work best with the OEM ink. I use Epson Premium Semi-Gloss & Premium Luster on an 870, results are teriffic. Mark |

Version: 6.0.716 / Virus Database: 472 - Release Date: 05/07/2004 For glossy or pearl, I've gotten the best results from Ilford Gallerie Classic. I have a friend who swears by all things Epson, I showed him a print made on Gallerie Glossy on my Canon printer, and he was amazed. Very good ink absorption, great tonality, and, supposedly, good longevity. For matte (very, very matte!) I use Epson Heavyweight Matte, more of a watercolor type paper, really. This is on a Canon i9000s printer, your mileage may vary. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

Version: 6.0.716 / Virus Database: 472 - Release Date: 05/07/2004 Lot of "best" possible. Different printers will have different best. Different inks may have other "best." Some subjects may do best one gloss others matt. There are many many factors. While we may all agree that certain paper/ink/subject/use etc. may look better with paper A than paper B, we may also all have different opinions about what is best. Photography has always been a blend of science and art. Best must include both and therefore there can't be any one best, only the one YOU like best. -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |

My second favorite is probably Mediastreet G-chrome luster. For matte papers, the two Epson mattes (Epson double sided matte, Epson heavy weight matte) are both nice. For double sided papers, I used HP double sided brouchure paper for making calendars last year. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

I much prefer the Ilford Classic Pearl paper. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

The Ilford papers always get good reviews, as they have in this thread.
Usually, they are available locally at photo shops, often other places. Another line of paper that always gets good press in the Photoshop newsgroups is from Red River Paper, available online. A couple of nice features are 1) they sell sampler packs so you can try many of their papers at a reasonable price, to see if anything fits your needs, and 2) they have posted color profiles (*.icc) for most of their papers if you use certain Epson or Canon printers, which is great if you use a color management workflow. http://www.redriverpaper.com/ tbm wrote: your opinion please? many thanks, regards to all from TBM... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
