Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 - Matte 2. Ilford Smooth Fine Art (for a more textured surface) - Matte 3. Epson Archival/Enhanced Matte - proofing for matte 4. Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper - Glossy 5. Epson Premium Semigloss 6. Ilford Smooth Pearl 7. Innova Fiba Print F Type Gloss (alternative to Crane Museo) - just started, very good for B&W At present trying out Innova Smooth Cotton High White. Most exotica (read non Epson) papers purchased from Jim Doyle at Shades of Paper: http://www.shadesofpaper.com Cheers Jayanand On 2/13/07, GREG LORENZO <gregj.lorenzo@shaw.ca> wrote: > > I picked my Epson 3800 printer on Saturday afternoon.
