You can purchase Epson glossy paper here: http://www.atlex.com/epson-stylus-inkjet-printer/photo_1280_printer_paper_in k.htm -----Original Message----- From: Katharine Thayer [mailto:kthayer@pacifier.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 3:28 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Re: Paper Negative Details Andrea, I wish I'd had your advice before I went to Office Max yesterday, but then I guess I didn't know before I went that they'd stopped carrying Epson Photo Quality Inkjet paper, which as I've said has been my paper of choice for years. I bought HP Color Inkjet paper, which I found out this morning doesn't work for beans; I'll take it back and try to trade it in on some some HP Premium on the basis of your recommendation.
