Looking for good 4x6 matte paper for my Epson Artisian 725. Going to be using it for a photobooth but have been unable to find the paper. Anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks.

I have had good results withInkpress Lustre photo paper (external link). You really have to get the printer set right though, my epson artisan 835 is very picky when it comes to paper, I have to try a couple of different settings to make sure the prints look good.

I found it was much easier to just useepson glossy ultra premium paper (external link) for an autism walk I did recently. It was just easier to print, especially if I wasn't at the printer. AND it's only $1 more!

One thing I found that I really like about inkpress is that they have 8x10 paper, all of the other brands, locally, were 8.5x11. For location printing I think the 8x10 looks more professional.

I was trying to stay away from glossy paper (I hate glossy paper). But it's looking like that's my solution.

I've heard the same thing about printing on non-Epson papers on Epson inkjets. That's why I'm looking for Epson paper. :(

I'm only printing 4x6 for this photobooth in the interest of time. It's for a fall festival at my kids' school. Going to be a lot of people.

Thanks!

Are you familiar with Epson Premium Luster paper?

It's not glossy (at least like Premium Glossy), prints well, looks good. We use it for the lion's share of our inkjet printing.

Haven't used it before. Sounds like it might be just what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Check out Red River Paper. Been buying paper for my Epson printers for over 15 years with excellent results. They have excellent support and printer profiles for download.

I don't think this comes in 4x6 paper, I wish it did though. Having to cut prints isn't an option for event printing.

Sorry, just checked a couple different vendors, you're right.

We also use Inkpress Luster Duo in 4x6 (it's two sided, they must make it in single sided). We use the Premium Photo Paper Semi-Gloss setting in the print dialog, it works fine for the few prints we do at 4x6 (<100/yr).
