yeah, absorption rate depends on the type of paper. Photo paper is right expensive, and yes, you should probably try to match paper to printer brands (me head's still ringing from Designjet plotter training..;). It depends on what you want to do, match the paper to the job. You might do fine with just high gloss paper, of for simple drafts, you could use regular copier paper. Sometimes (I don't know your Epson model, my last Epson training was on dot-matrix printers..;) by some later models will let you set the paper type in either the driver, or on the printer itself. Worth checking out. And go by Epson's web site, they're not working on commission..;)
