Paper Recommendations - 10-10-2009, 12:45 PM

I have an Epson 1280 that I use for the majority of my photo printing. I've been using Epson Premium Photo Lustre, and recently tried Illford Premium Photo. Both produce an excellent image, with the Epson paper having slightly more saturation.

I signed up for Help Portrait and have two single moms that I'll be photographing. Anyone have any recommendations as to a paper that's a better choice for portraits/skin tones?

I really like the Red River 62lb Ultra Pro Satin. They have the profiles you can download for your epson as well.

Although I prefer landscapes & matte paper I'll second Michael's recommendation of Red River Paper. Their 60lb Polar Matte gives superb results from my Epson R2400 using the profiles from their website.
