Digital BW, The Print

So I'm thinking (after reading Paul Roark's information) I'm gonna try 
out the epson R220 and the UT-R2 inkset.  The only thing I'm wanting to 
know about is how limited (if at all) would I be for trying out some of 
the higher end papers at some point down the line.

I figure the printer and ink don't cost much so I'm not gonna be out 
much if I don't like it as I can do the whole thing for less than $200 
easily.

Also, this is by far the most useful group I've ever encountered on 
Yahoo groups.  Thanks for all the great info.

The stiffer/thicker papers can be a problem to feed.  So, it might be a good idea to start with the thinner paper stock.  Since this is an 8 1/2 printer the thinner papers are fine for most applications anyway.
   
  As far as the surfaces, any of the more or less usual surfaces will be no problem.  You should enjoy printing with this setup.

I also use the R220.  I just got a lot of Innova Smooth Cotton 315 
paper in 4x6 and 8.5x11 and for a thick paper, they feed really well, 
and much better than Photo Rag or Moab Entrada for some reason.  I 
highly recommend you give this paper a shot if you're looking for 
something in a matte surface.
