For those that print wildlife photos...

Curious...what photo paper do you use to print your wildlife photos for display and/or for sale and why? What type of photo printer do you use?

I currently have the Epson R1900 and use Epson premium glossy photo paper but always willing to explore other manufacturers photo paper. Do any of you use the luster or art paper?

Thanks

This might be better suited to the printing forum, but I moved it to Wildlife Talk for you since you posted in Wildlife section.

I've not worked much with the fine art papers yet,. but stick to either gloss or preferably a Semi gloss like Ilfords "Pearl"

I'm using Canon's IPF5000, another pigment based printer and love the Ilford Smooth Pearl. I find it looks more "photographic" than the more common gloss papers.

Thanks Cyber. I placed it in wildlife because I wanted responses specifically from those who photograph and print wildlife; was afraid of getting mixed responses from those that print weddings, special events etc. in the other forum. I searched but didn't find anything so I posted in the Wildlife forum hoping for focused responses.

Again thanks

If you're selling prints, I would make sure the inks are UV stable, seen angry customers come back to a place I used to work at not too happy that most of the magenta had gone AWOL in their prints.

Epson states that the color won't fade for 200 years...don't know if that's true but I guess their lab tests does life projections.

No one here prints their wildlife photos?

Thanks

Just me I guess

I use premier art luster 12mil. This makes it easy to handle large prints without damage while moving prints through the workflow. I also do some on canvas. I have an epson 9880 printer.
