IT'S ALL ABOUT EXPERIMENTATION...
FIRST OFF:
PHOTO PAPERS ARE FABULOUS...BUT YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ALBUM WITH SHEET PROTECTORS, THEY WILL REACT WITH ONE ANOTHER (WHEN PAGES ARE FACE TO FACE) & THEY 'DEVELOP' ON EACH OTHER. YOU'LL GET
A 'NEGATIVE' IMAGE ON THE PAGES, SO BE CAREFUL.
THE GLOSSY IS GREAT FOR A VERY BEAUTIFUL FINISH.
BUT, I ALSO LIKE THE EPSON HEAVY MATTE DOUBLE SIDED...IT GIVES A VERY RICH, VELVETY LOOK & DOES NOT REACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
ALSO, THERE ARE SOME GORGEOUS ARTISTIC PAPERS OUT THERE...WATERCOLOR, CANVAS, LINEN, EVEN CHIFFON. TRY
www.inkjetart.com
ALSO, LIKE SAID ABOVE, THE ARCHIVAL QUALITY IS IMPORTANT, BUT I FOUND SOMETHING TO HELP OUT ON PAGES THAT I PRINTED W/O ARCHIVAL PAPER OR INK.
JUST GET SOME OF THAT ARCHIVAL MIST & SPRAY IT ON IT. VERY LIGHTLY, NO SPATTERS & IT WILL SEAL & PROTECT YOUR PAPERS. (FRONT & BACK)...
GRANTED, THIS ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO DO IT, BUT IF YOU'VE ALREADY PRINTED & DON'T WANT TO DO ANOTHER ONE, THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO PROTECT!
HTH!
