I'm interested in knowing if anyone is using anything but photo gloss paper for printing. Also, what printers do you use? I don't print that many of my photos, but am thinking of doing a series of the flower macros. I truly sort of prefer a satin paper instead of the gloss for just regular photos too, altho' I do use several different gloss papers. But--I'm crazy about the papers from Digital Art Supplies. I just finished printing the verbena rigida on Hahnemuhle Torchon 285 gsm paper and it is wonderful--even on my HP 732 (this is a heavy watercolor paper). I am sort of planning on buying an Epson printer--as low in the range of their photo group as I can--after August when they come out with their 'new' archival inks/papers (supposedly to correct the orange problem)--for just photo printing. My HP (my 3rd or 4th) is great as an all round printer and I'm not particularly unhappy with the results I'm getting now, but feel with a 6 color printer, the results will be even better. So--what is everyone else using?? Diane
