I came back with the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper. I am wondering what you guys prefer for paper. I print mostly landscapes with about 60% in color and the remaining in B&W. What paper have you found to be the best? Holy crap, my 9500 mk II will be here wednesday and I ordered a ton of smooth pearl myself! I have been using smooth pearl with my canon iP4600 and it is awesome. Period. I have read that the smooth pearl works great with dye and pigment based inks so we are in like flynn. 2 x 5D III | 40D | Rokinon 14 2.8 | 35L | 50[B]L | 85IIL | 100 L |135L | 300 f4L | | 24-70L | | 70-200 2.8L II | 2XL |

I can get some good prices on them and they offer ICC profiles. I was looking at the "Luster" specifically. For glossy, I just like Canon's Glossy Plus. Taylor
