    Default Your favourite printing paper........

    for either colour or monochrome?

    And any particular reason why you like the paper you've chosen. A pro I know who does FAN uses Ilford Gold Silk baryta paper on an Epson R2400 and his results are wonderful. I'm about to drop $ on the R2880 and wonder what people use for their own printing.

    i love baryta paper as it often comes in thicknesses and finishes that resemble the thick-ass fibre paper i used to print on in my golen darkroom days - lol.
    I use a variety of papers, but like your pro friend, one of my faves is fineart baryta but by hahnemuhle.
    Just in case you might be interested, i reviewed several excellent papers in 2 podcasts last year.

    I too love the Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta. It makes a beautiful print. It is has a wonderful "hand" feel and of course is "Archival". If you want to impress someone, just hand them a large sized, well made print on the Baryta.

    Has anybody tried out the Hahnemuhle Bamboo Fine Art Paper? I've been reading up on it and it sounds like my future medium.

    Thanks Greg - I have touched this paper and do have a sample that I should try for myself.
    German fine etching from hahnemuhle is also fab when you want texture in a paper
