Kirkland substitute?

2019-08-21 by goch@...

Costco in Canada is no longer selling the Kirkland glossy photo paper. It was my go-to general purpose glossy paper both for B&W and colour.


1) Has it been discontinued in the US as well?


2) What would you recommend as a substitute? Aside from having optical brighteners in it, it was as good as anything I've seen for a combination of consistency, d-max, response to carbon blacks, and general 'feel'. It seemed to do a good job with Epson ABW, too. And, of course, it was inexpensive and readily available if you lived near a Costco in North America.


I'm down to 124 sheets, so I need to get moving on finding a substitute. Since if *was* such a good paper, perhaps it appears under some other label...???


Thanks!!
