I have an old Epson 870 inkjet and have been using Epson's Premium Glossy Photo Paper and like the results better than other cheaper papers that I tried. A couple weeks ago I spotted a box of 100 sheets of Ilford Galerie Professional Inkjet Photo Range-Smooth Glossy Paper for about $23 in Sam's Club. Since Ilford Galerie was a friendly brandname from darkroom days and a quarter a sheet looks pretty good for price I gave it a try. It seems to be the equal of my Epson paper and the spec sheet lists some good archival time (IMHO).

It got me to wondering what folks here use. Also, I have seen a couple posts in the past couple weeks saying that they would never use anything than some matte finish paper and I wonder about that too because I usually think a glossy print looks better.
