I'm using UT2 inkset (with Eboni) and QTR on a 1290s, and want to start playing around with gloss/semi-gloss papers, has anybody got any info on the best papers, from an archival point of view that I might try as a start point in my trials. So far I reckon Epson Premium semi-gloss is the 1 to use, can anybody confirm this? Jamie Creed.

Wilhelm rates Epson Premium Glossy paper as a bit better than Premium Semigloss, but for me the Semigloss looks better. I use Premium Semimatte for large display because I like its look and it's available in rolls (for a rather nice price). If Premium Semigloss was available in the sizes I wanted, I'd use it. There is no Wilhelm test of Costco Kirkland Glossy inkjet paper, but it is one of the very few glossy papers that, like the above papers, has a buffered, acid-free interior. Given its great price and look, I use if for 8x10. Even non-Costco members can buy it on line for 5% more. Paul www.PaulRoark.com

I don't know about its permanence but the look and feel of the paper is very good; just enough shine to bring out the photo without being too glossy/shiney.
