The problem is that I have several boxes of Kodak and HP paper which I don't know what to do with now that I have my new printer. I have several unopened boxes of:

tonylong ...winded  More info | Jan 11, 2010 00:38 | #2 Your one best hope is to do some research on the papers, track the manufacturers, and see if you can find ink/printer compatibility. There are some combinations that do "OK", but I wouldn't do anything serious on them without some careful tests. Do a few prints, of a variety of colors and tones, on 8.5x11 paper -- the results should speak for themselves as far as image quality. The research comes in when it comes to things like longevity and paper absorbtion matched to ink. Tony

Jan 11, 2010 17:16 | #3 I looked online and couldn't find any profiles for the Kodak and HP papers. I tried printing a couple of pictures on both the Kodak and HP papers, but they looked muddy and quite flat (although they print OK on my HP 7350). I installed the Red River printer profiles for their Arctic Polar Gloss (I ordered a box the same day as my printer) and printed out the same sample prints. The results with the Red River Arctic Polar Gloss Paper and RR Profile were incredible, like night and day!

The guy at the photo store tells me that Kodak an HP do not profile for competing printers. The best he told me to do was use similar paper profiles.
