Yes, and it is being replaced with EEM (Endurance) as it runs out in the
suppliers, same thing.

Best cost/great looking print ratio I've found to date is Eclipse Satine
paper.  Get it at http://www.inkjetgoodies.com

Which weight of the Satine? For that matter, which weight of Hahnemule 
Photo Rag works well for people using the 1160?

Peter - I use the 188 gm weight PhotoRag in an 1160 all the time and find it
good in the smaller sizes that this printer takes.  It's really a matter of
preference, I guess.  I have sheets of fome-cor that are cut to 8.5 x 11"
and 13 x 19" that I put in the paper feed part of the printer so that the
paper goes in well.

They print identically. Use whichever one you like best.

Peter,

The PR 188 works great in the 1160. I've never had a feed problem with this
paper. Never used the 308 version, but I would suspect that
it would be problematic since I've had many issues feeding Somerset Photo
Enhanced through my 1160. Never used Satine.

FWIW.

With my 1160 I have no problem with printing with 308. But I have tons of 
problems with Somerset Photo Enhanced as the surface is too "powdery" the 
printer rarely can grab the paper - than it messes the printer up for grabbing 
other paper.

John,

Thanks for the info. This could be the reason for my problems feeding
thicker stock through my 1160. At the
time, I was using quite a bit of SPE.
