Paper Types

[straya]

I'm getting some great results using Legion Inkjet Paper...(Especially Photo Gloss)......I also find Office Depot sells a line of Professional Heavy Weight Paper under their name...(Very Good...It works well with my Epson 2200 with pigmented inks)

Lets hear what everyone is using.....................


P.S. Anyone sending their files out for printing? I am considering an outsource for printing.....I would appreiciate any input. :)

I am not personally sending prints out yet, but I have had contact with photographer down the street that does exclusively that. I have seen the prints and they are beautiful!!!!! Much better than any luck I've had with the 2200. I guess they are printed on silver paper useing a laser to expose them. It is cheap (about 7 bucks for one perfect 11X14) and they overnight the print back.

Once i am doing enough business to warrant it I think I will do it exclusively as well.

I have the Epson 2200 and I have been using the Epson Premium Semigloss and Premium Luster papers and have been getting amazing results. I have also been using the Ilford Smooth Pearl paper and that has also produced excellent results.

I have a friend with the S2 and same lenses as mine, and he gave me a pic to print up on my Epson and then had the same pic printed via Costco, and my print was pretty much the same except for the Costco print was glossy.

How are peoples B&W prints turning out on the 2200? I have distinct green cast and when I use the Matt black cartridge it does not seem to drain and the other colors go especially fast.


Also, how are people profiling this printer? I am new to this digital printing thing and would love cheap alternatives to expensive color management

Thanks a million

Jeff, will you post your photo neighbor's printing company? Sounds like they upload them to the printer and it comes via the mail...please assist.

Thanks!
