I just ordered an Epson wide format printer and am so excited about FINALLY having a printer that I can use 12x12 paper with! I think that I will probably use it mostly for printing my journalling anywhere on the page but I also want to use it for print and cuts with my Cameo. I've done this a few times with the HP printer that I'm replacing but the results haven't been great. In fact, I really haven't print many photos with my HP printer so I'm actually looking forward to being able to use this new one every now again for photo printing. I prefer the look of matt photos when I sent them to be printed online - but good matt paper is tough to find. So now I'm wondering what type of paper you Epson owners use with your printers to get the best quality prints and a reasonable price! |

I don't have 12x12 or an Epson so I use HP brochure paper. The presentation paper works too but it isn't quite as heavy. My printables look great!
I have heard that Epson presentation paper works best with Epson printers - not sure if it comes in 12x12. | |

For photos, I use Epson UltraPremium Lustre Photo Paper, which I buy eitherthrough amazon, epson or Atlex dot com, depending on price.
For journaling or print and cut kinds of things, I use Epson Ultra Premium Matte Presentation paper, which you can buy at the same places I listed above.
Enjoy your new printer! | |

Shoot! I wish I had seen this earlier. I actually saw this tonight when I was out and debating buying it... but I decided to wait until I my printer is delivered... which looks like it will be tomorrow! Guess I'll have to make another trip out tomorrow night to pick some up.
I just did a couple of print and cuts with some Staples lustre photo paper that I have... It's ok but too glossy for my liking for an embellishment. |

I usually use Epson Matte Luster photo paper for pictures because that is what is recommended. I have use the ultra premium satin kodak paper and it works fine (if I run out of the other). I have printed a lot of journaling on 12 x 12 papers. I usually use bazzill and it works great.
Enjoy your new printer. |

I love the presentation paper..I have actually printed photos on this and always get tons of compliments. I love that it is definitely fingerprint resistant. | |

I was going to do this for journalling... but I didn't think that it would be a good option for "print and cuts" because the cardstock would absorb too much ink and make it look flat... No?
I'm off to pick up some Epson Presentation paper today! |

Cardstock soaks up the ink. I have taken a few hybrid classes at Jessica Sprague and Epson Matte Premium Presentation is recommended. I have tried a couple different kinds and it is indeed the best quality. |
