    I need some roll paper

    No, not rolling papers, roll paper. ;) I just gained access to an Epson 2200, and a much larger 7 color ink jet roll printer at the local university. I have a large 7"x60" panoramic image that I want to print but I don't know anything about printing papers. I want to use the 2200 since the image is only 7". I checked out B&H for a bit last night to see what they had to offer. I noticed a couple brands of paper: Epson & Ink Press. Any recomendations? This is what I found: Inkpress-Print Pluss Heavyweith Matte, Inkpress-Photochorme RC U-Glossy Paper for UltraChrome Inkjet, Inkpress-Photochrome RC Glossy Paper, Inkpress-Photochrome Luster Paper, Epson-Premium Luster Photo Paper, and Epson Premium Glossy. Has anyone used any of these papers and what were the results? The image will be displayed in the TV room in the basement so sunlight will not be an issue if this helps. Please let me know what you think.


    Thanks

    Ilford seems to make it. I bought some smooth gloss Ilford Galerie at Sam's Club (About $23 for 100 8x10 sheets) and like the results. This chart seems to have some errors on the metric measurements.

    I've used Epson Premium Glossy (though not in roll form)and am happy with it.

    No idea, but...

    I'm afraid I don't have any useful info for you. But I'm curious, what is the subject of the photo? 7" X 60"!
