Paul, Thanks for the reply. Here is the Kodak Professional paper I used: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/papers/inkjet/mai n.jhtml;jsessionid=Q0OZPZZ4LSKVXFW4FBCXWEMW1YUEQ4L4? id=0.1.18.16.5&lc=en&_requestid=11666 It's for pigment or dye inks and is instant dry. Look on their website, you should be able to get a free sample. This paper just hit the market recently. I see B&H carries it. I'm not sure who else does at this time.
