Best paper bargains?

2005-05-18 by Scott McLoughlin

Economy is a life reality for me right now, and I'm wondering
what some of the better paper bargains (and suppliers, I suppose)
are out there right now.

To date, I've been using EEM and Matte Scrapbook in 8.5x11
on a C86/MIS combo. The latter seems to be a good value in a
cotton paper.

I have a new 2200, and note that Matte Scrapbook isn't available
in larger sheets.  I've been using EEM in my initial trials with QTR
GUI (I use PictureWindow Pro) (and printing color). 

For paper choices, I don't have the technology/know-how to create
custom profiles, so that may limit my paper choices, I imagine.

I note that Clayton's recently discussed Moab Kayenta (sp?) seems
a rather good value compared to EEM, and if it's archival properties
stand up, a very good value.

In 13x19, what papers might I consider balancing quality and value?
Should I simply forgo cotton fiber papers if economy is a major
consideration?

Thanks so much.

Scott
