Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?

I have heard good things about Ilford Pearl…..

Thanks…..but I’ve tried Ilford Pearl and while its a decent paper it has the same problems. Luster is actually better than the Pearl paper, but…..

Have you used the Epson semigloss? I had heard that the semigloss is the same as the luster but when I recently put together a portfolio and attempted mixing the two I noticed a huge difference between them.

This may be old info, but a couple years ago I sat in on a printing class where Colorlife paper was highly praised.

Pictorico had some good reviews and claims to have less bronzing than Epson papers

hey, adam. the colorlife, i am pretty sure, will not work with the 2200’s inkset. when i was at b&h recently their computer guru guy (sits at a desk in the middle of the camera section, surounded on 3 sides by a counter that has digital cameras leashed to it) was showing me oriental’s inkjet papers. they looked good. take in a file burned to a cd and ask them for a sample print. he’s a nice guy, but i forget his name. the oriental inkjet papers apparently have the same base as their darkroom papers. they have an rc-type and, it seems, some type of fiber-based. looking at the b&h website now i have 3 observations: 1) oriental is expensive. 2) much of it is not in stock.

ok, 2 observations, i forgot the third . . .

Hey folks….I’m testing an InkJet paper that shows promise. Its the UltraPro Satin made by Red River Paper. So far I like the surface better than the Epson Luster and it seems to have fewer problems with reflections and a wider viewing angle. I’m going to go on working with it and am curious about other people’s experience with it.
And at $30.60 for a 100 sheets of 8.5×11 its definately cheaper than Epson.
Also compatable with Epson UltraChrome Inks.

An interesting site about papers, calibration and printing. They also sell custom ICC Profiles which I know nothing about….so this not an edorsement for that.

I’ve just started using Epson Premium Luster for promo cards – does anyone know of a comparable paper that doesn’t have a logo on the back? It’d be nice to not see the Epson brand on the back of my cards… Adam, how about the UltraPro?

Anpther nice thing about the UltraPro, nothing on the back.
