I have a Canon iPF8100 44" printer and I use 10" roll paper a lot as most of my sales are of 5x7s and 8x10s. I used to use Ilford Smooth Pearl paper when I used sheets, but I don't know where to buy their 10" rolls, if they still even make it. I don't think Canon sells a 10" roll so I've been using Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper . I was looking at the B&H site for other options and came upon these: Kodak Professional Inkjet Photo Paper Lustre for Inkjet (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=385716&is=REG) and Inkpress Photochrome RC Luster Paper for Inkjet .
Which of these would be the best quality or is there something that's even better? I'd really like to stick with a 10" roll for this particular purpose.
I'm also about to buy more canvas. I'm using Canon Graphic Matte Canvas for Inkjet - 42" Wide Roll (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=388502&is=REG) now and there is also Ilford Gallerie Smooth Fine Art Canvas - 44" Wide Roll (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=553321&is=REG) but it's a lot more expensive. Is there a better one to use or should I stick with the Canon?
I'm going to try Ilford Gold Fibre Silk for BW prints and maybe color prints of my artwork that I sell in my gallery. Any other papers that would be good gallery/sellable quality that I should try? I wouldn't mind also something that looks like watercolor paper or something as I do a lot of watercolor and other types of treatments.
Thanks much.
