Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl, if you have an Epson 2200, you must try this paper. Samsclub.com has 100 sheet boxes for cheap.

I second this comment! I use Ilford Smooth Pearl too and it's good value! It took me a little while to fine tune my settings but it's pretty close now!

Arista Photo Lustre, especially for large archival prints, I get mine at freestyle photo supply, I've used it with the epson photo R1800, works great.

ah yeah, that is getting a little heavy for my printer. I think the r1800 gets maxed out at 250 gsm

Yep, I love all the Ilford Galerie papers.

The ilford smooth pearl is surely a hot paper. I use it a lot because my GF prefer the semi gloss look of it. For myself I prefer matte paper and my choice is the Hahnemule William Turner 310. It's awesome if you like matte paper.
