Professional Grade Photo Paper for Inkjets

G

I have been using different types of photo paper from my local stores and I am just not getting the look and feel that I was going for. Can someone please give me some insight as to a good source on the internet or otherwise to find professional grade photo paper? Also if you could give me some opinions of what photo paper and finish has produced the best results for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way I am using a lexmark z65p which in itself can produce some pretty nice prints I just need the paper to finish the job. Thanks in advance for any help.

My favorite paper is the Epson ColorLife paper. It is a semigloss paper. I am using a Canon i960. Epson makes a lot of good papers. Take a look at their web site, then search for dealers.

I have been working with the Ilford papers too. Supposedly, Ilford makes the ColorLife paper for Epson, but their Classic Pearl does not do as good a job on my printer. It is a lot less expensive though.

If you wnat pics that will last, stay away from glossy papers.
