Good inexpensive photo paper

That Ilford paper you described is exactly what I PREFER, to go with
my Canon i950. I pay that same price at the local Sam's without the
shipping, but with state sales tax. Hope you find it as good as I
have.

10.8 thickness makes any difference? I know it will work in my printer. I
think I'll give it a try. Has to better than the 200 sheets I have now that
will going in the garbage.

I know I have seen it posted here before but could someone tell me where
to
get high end glossy photo paper for a good price. I found Georgia Pacific
Image Plus paper 8.5 in. X 11 in. to be excellent with my Canon I960. I
found it at Sam's Club for $11.00 for 100 sheets. This is 9 mil paper
that
has given me great results. Unfortunately Sam's Club doesn't carry it all
the time. I found it at some websites for $40.00 for 100 sheets!! I
don't
think that was really a realistic price since GP doesn't retail through
mainstream stores but I can't find it for anywhere near the price I paid
at
Sam's Club. For those of you not in the US, Sam's Club is a bulk buying
club under the same company as Wal Mart.

I would be willing to give some other paper a try if I could find it for a
bargain price.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use Ilford pretty exclusively, mostly the Classic series, rather than the
smooth, 'though I've used both on my Canon i9000S. Excellent results. That
CQ stuff from Fry's is pretty dire, the ink never seems to really dry, odd
colors, fast fading, and kind of a greenish/magenta cast on b&w prints. I
use it for contact sheets, only, 'cause it's cheap.

Personally, I don't think you'll get better than Ilford paper. They are
the oldest name in photography. They nade/make some of the best wet
darkroom paper and chemicals. So they know a few things about the photo
stuff.

A few years ago when you couldn't get inkjet paper that wouldn't almost
instantly fade, Ilford had a reputation of not fading. Alas, I haven't
seen any recent tests of their fade resistance, but I bet it's pretty good.
