Which photo paper?

[eldudereno]

Hi all

Can anyone recommend some nice quality photo paper at a decent price for my canon iP4200?

I bought some cheapo 260g stuff off ebay but the quality is pretty poor with the paper causing bubbles in the ink.

many thanks

Depends what you're looking for. The absolute best I have come across are Hahnemulle fine art papers. These are all textured to some extent and might not be exactly what you're looking for. They give a painting kind of finish, and they are also a bit expensive, though worth every penny when you print that gorgeous landscape.

For a more standard look (and price), my favourite is Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Its a semi-gloss really good quality paper. Most people printing digitally in my camera club use this one.

Yep Ilford is a good choice. I also use Fujifilm paper, which seems to be better than Epson, Canon stuff etc.

thanks for the replies, Ilford it is...
