Just curious, what would be commercially acceptable to most photographers in terms of paper. At my work we have a HPZ3200 and an Epson9800 and a printer profile for both. For personal use I've been printing my stuff on GMG Gloss 250 paper. Would this or Semi-Matte paper be acceptable to you to sell to clients? We keep the semi-matte in-stock which is what I'm really curious of in terms of feed back but, any opinions?

I've never heard of either of those printers. I have two HP photo printers and used the highest-spec'd papers for them, which include profiles for being managed by color-managed software. Check the specs for your printers and you can also check paper vendors and if they have profiles for matching their papers with your printers -- that's a good sign.

You should have sample prints made on all of the papers you would offer and offer your clients the choice. Which ever they like you sell!
