None gave acceptable results. The Premium Gloosy paper on my new 1270 printer is excellent, and I honestly see no reason for further (money wasting) experimentation with 3rd party papers. My local dealer does have a supply of Luminos ink jet paper, but my understanding is that this paper is intended for use with their proprietary ink. I'd like to see some sample's before throwing any more money away. By the way, stay away from Epson's Glossy Film. It is probably the least archival of Epson's offerings (as well as the most expensive). I know this from personal experience, and it's confirmed by published studies from Wilhelm Inst. (http://wilhelm-research.com/index.htm). Dan C.
