Default Which inkjet paper would you use?

I have a Canon iPF8100 44" printer and I use 10" roll paper a lot as most of my sales are of 5x7s and 8x10s. I used to use Ilford Smooth Pearl paper when I used sheets, but I don't know where to buy their 10" rolls, if they still even make it. I don't think Canon sells a 10" roll so I've been using Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper . I was looking at the B&H site for other options and came upon these: Kodak Professional Inkjet Photo Paper Lustre for Inkjet [/url] and Inkpress Photochrome RC Luster Paper for Inkjet .

Which of these would be the best quality or is there something that's even better? I'd really like to stick with a 10" roll for this particular purpose.

I'm also about to buy more canvas. I'm using Canon Graphic Matte Canvas for Inkjet - 42" Wide Roll [/url] now and there is also Ilford Gallerie Smooth Fine Art Canvas - 44" Wide Roll [/url] but it's a lot more expensive. Is there a better one to use or should I stick with the Canon?

I'm going to try Ilford Gold Fibre Silk for BW prints and maybe color prints of my artwork that I sell in my gallery. Any other papers that would be good gallery/sellable quality that I should try? I wouldn't mind also something that looks like watercolor paper or something as I do a lot of watercolor and other types of treatments.

Thanks much.

Have you looked into the larger rolls and picking up Qimage? It's a great program and in the case of printing numerous prints of the same size a snap to use. You can print X number of 5X7's on one sheet of paper and with a Rotatrim or the like, cut them out for mounting.

Just a thought.
