Hey all,
I'm doing a little research here so any and all input would be most helpfull.

I've tried HP's Premium Glossy Photo Paper and am not satisfied with the results. The photos don't come out with that "glossy" appearance.
I've used Epson's Glossy Photo Paper and I like the results but. . . I'm looking for something that might be a little better.

Has anyone tried Epsons ColorLifeā„¢ Photo Paper or their Premium Glossy Photo Paper?

Besides HP and Epson, what other quality glossy photo papers do you all use. I'm looking for something that will last.

I'm using Canon's S230 camera (which takes some of the best photos I've seen, can enlarge up to 8.5X11 without loosing any quailty) and printing with a Epson Stylus Photo 1280.

Thanks! ;)

Have you tried Lexmark? It's a little more expensive than Canon/Epson paper but well worth it. Kodak is pretty average. :rolleyes: I also found some useful tips here (http://www.pickyguide.com/computers_and_software/glossy_photo_papers_guide.html).

Ilford Smooth Pearl is my fave for home printing.

Do you think the OP is going to see the reply? (after more than four years) Nice first post though. :D :D
