Choosing Inkjet Photo Paper
Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer

Permajet, Photo Speed, Lyson, Ilford, Kodak, Fuji and many others make inkjet photo papers that are far better than those supplied by the printer manufacturers themselves. Unlike ink cartridges - where in general it’s best to stick with your printer manufacturer’s own ink cartridges - with paper there are better cheaper alternatives out there. Most specialist photo papers are aimed at Epson printers - so the majority will work well with Epson. Not that many work well with Canon printers. Not sure why that is, but I’ve only found a few that perform well with Canon.

 Even fewer are suitable for HP printers - partly for the usual ink compatability reasons but even more heavyweight glossy papers just won’t feed through the characteristic tight U-turn in most HP printers. Many emerge scratched so it’s best to stick with HP’s own papers for photo prints. With HP I’d say there’s only one other supplier whose paper works well - Kodak papers are excellent with HP but not great with Canon or Epson.
