I don't use an Epson but everyone I know that uses one has had good success with Ilford. I also use it and have been very satisfied with the outcome.

As to the other OT comments made I would never let a Lab process my photos. They have no idea what the colors and exposure looked like when the pic was taken and I have never used one that could.

Most of my shots that I sell are 8x10 or 13x19. I will sell any size print a customer wants but I rarely get orders for larger ones. At any event I print my own, mostly on site, and will use a lab for those that are larger than 13x19. I just won't let them process my shot.

First off, this post was funny :lol:
but to answer the question I use the Ilford paper from Sam's also on my HP 7660 and also the HP Premium Glossy.

Kim, You might also consider a Costco membership and get some printing done there. Quality is great and prices are very affordable and by the time you weigh in ink and paper, you might save a little.....

Yeah I agree this post was funny, but non the less a good read!

Im still looking for good paper to print stuff at home so I can have total control, but I have also found a little lab who prints stuff on epson paper and epson printers I gave them my proofs and a 20x20 to do and it came out beautiful, Im going to be using them more and giving up "some" control to them. Thanks again for all in the information....
