Wow, it's boring, but I agree with everyone. Epson Enhanced (previously 'Archival') Matte for proofs and mundane stuff, Hahnnemuhle Photo Rag in either of the weights (the heavy stuff is spectacular, though) for the quality jobs. > > How do you handle this alignment thing?

Some people like to see the pattern on the back of their prints since it indicates the heads were aligned before that particular print. >I find that on the Epson > Heavyweight Matt paper that there's a color tinge toward the green, at > least compared to a silver-gel print.
