Re: Fine art papers
Hanser, just a suggestion but you may get more response to your question in the Printing, etc., Forum...
Printing, Matting, and Framing - PhotoCamel - Your Friendly Photo Forum That being said, I print on a Canon printer, and tend to print with Canon paper and ink. I have had marginal success using fine art papers from 3rd party suppliers. Of those that I have tested, I prefer Canon's fine art papers, and some of the Moab line. My least favorite is the Ilford line. I would suggest you buy samples packs of the papers and try them out on your particular printer/ink. Check first to see if ICC profiles are also available for the Epson R1800 . It is a very popular printer so you will probably find profiles from moth suppliers. Jeff |

Re: Fine art papers
I get all my fine art paper at Hawk Mountain. They are really great and have an extremely friendly staff. Plus, if you do printing with a printer they don't have profiles for, they'll give you free stuff if you provide them.
