Default printing question...

Hi!

Okay, I bought some of Katies papers (want to use them for a hybrid project for my sister's wedding) and I am planning on printing them out on my Epson photo printer. My question is, what kind of paper is the best for printing out patterned papers? I really would like to stick within the Epson line...

thanks for any advice you experts can offer!

I think matte photo paper gives the best result.

I like PremierArt™ Matte Scrapbook Photo Paper for Epson. It comes in both 12x12 and 8.5x11-inch size. What's nice about it is you can print on both sides with no bleedthrough.

I also like Premium Presentation Paper Matte, Double-sided for the same reason.
They also have a Premium Presentation Paper Matte, Borderless which is nice (but only coated on one side.)

Thanks! I will look into these! I'm only going to need to print 8x8 (that is the size book I'm doing) so I can get by with the 8.5 x 11 size!

If you don't need to print on both sides, I'd say try Epson's Velvet Fine Art paper. It's luscious and gives everything a really nice depth. I love it and use it all the time.

good to know Kerry! Nope, don't think I'll need to print on both sides, I'm doing it hybrid for her so I just want to print out the papers to then scrap in the mini album!!
