OT: Is there a "Great Paper Chase" for Colour Photographs?

OT: Is there a "Great Paper Chase" for Colour Photographs?

2006-03-26 by G Guhan Gunaratnam

Hello,

I've found Clayton's article the Great Paper Chase helpful in getting an
idea of papers to try.  Though I've made some very dumb mistakes I'm
enjoying the results very much now.

I'd like to get an idea of paper for color photographs on an R2400.
Archival quality is of importance to me, and prints will be matted and
framed, as such I'd like to stay away from a gloss paper, but I could be
convinced otherwise.

I'd be very interested to hear what you are all using for colour.

Thank you,
Guhan

Thanks a lot Sam.

I didn't know of that colour group, thanks for passing it on.  I'll see you
there
