I have averaged 1,000/month for about 8 years using Kodak dye sub at $2.20
each, so this paper with ultrachromes at 70% off will add to my bottom line
hugely. I do event photography and Santa photos. All final product.
Essentially replace Polaroid in those markets, which is why I got digital to
start with. Use semi-matte Epson or Lexjet with Lacquer Mat coating or Roll
lamination for Portrait Wedding work, or I just print from a Noritsu laser
onto 12x18. I do my own profiles.

They will last longer than Kodak Xtralife dye sub, I'm sure. Bronzing is not
a big issue with this paper as much as others and most people can't see it. 
They just want a good expression on their kids.

There are plenty of great papers out there worth considering. That being
said there are a few papers you should take a look at. It is really tough to
beat the Hahnemühle papers and they come in all sorts of textures. Photo Rag
is smooth-ish, while German Etching has more of a texture to it,
whileWilliam Turner has even more texture. I'd also suggest taking a look at
the Innova papers. The Smooth Cotton is sort of like Photo Rag and the Soft
Texture is much like German Etching.

The great thing is that you can get both Hahnemühle and Innova papers from
the same place. Try Jim Doyle at Shades of Paper.

www.shadesofpaper.com

Another great paper is the Condor (and Condor BW) by Hawk Mountain Art
Papers.
