I am considering getting a printer for myself and i am trying to soak up (pun intended hehe) as much info as i can in regards to printers, papers and textures etc.

Lemme know which brand of paper you prefer and why...

thanks

It should depend on the printer you get. I'm an Epson guy. Am using an old Stylus 870 and the Epson photo paper (semi and glossy)
Am about to get the Epson 1400 simply because I think it suits my needs the most. Most of my photos are sent via email and I only print between 150 and 200 pic's a year so this is the printer I want.
I'll still use the Epson Premium Photo Paper and Glossy Photo Paper...
I tried off brand paper once as have others and have seen and heard horror stories....I'm sticking to the brand name...Mike

Thanks mike.. I'm leaning towards an epson printer since they seem to get the best reviews..

I use the paper that I feel is the most appropriate for the image and the client's preference. As far as brand,s, I use Epson, Canon, DAS, Lexjet, Crane Hahnnemuhle, and Moab. All print beautifully on my Epson 9800 with the appropriate profiles.
