My husband got me an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer for my birthday--I'm excited to be able to finally print out my layouts on 12x12 paper! Anybody know the best place to get this size of paper? I would prefer to print on photo-quality paper, not just cardstock. What do you all do? What types of paper do you like to print on? Thanks!!

It's not easy to find that's for sure.. try Google. expect to pay around $1.50 per sheet. If you don't mind cutting.. just buy 11x13 paper which will be a bit cheaper but still expensive.

Good Luck!

Congratulations on your new Epson stylus Photo 1280. I have been using mine for a couple years, and I love it. I have settled on using Epson Matte Paper-Heavyweight Professional Media paper at the 13x19-inch size. I think it is the best value. When I print a 12x12 page on it, I trim off a 13x7-inch piece, which is useful for printing lots of other things. So I am not wasting the excess. I just made a purchase of a box of 50 sheets for $28.99 from Newegg.com. Databazaar, B&H, and Amazon also have decent prices, all under 70 cents per page. BTW, those are also the best places that I've found to buy ink cartridges, too.

My husband gave me the HP 9800. I love it. I bought Staples brand 13 x 19 high gloss photo paper. I put my 12 x 12 sheet on it and printed a couple of 4x6 at the bottom.

There is also 12 x 12 Epson Scrapbook paper but it is pricey. Instead, I have been designing at 12 x 12, resizing to 8 x 8 to print. I then purchase the Premium Presentation Paper Matte Double Sided paper. It prints beautifully and is less than $20 for 50 sheets (in Canada).

I am pretty sure that I saw it at Bets buy at christmas time. Have you called around to the placed that sell the printers locally?

Thanks for the great ideas! I haven't had time to call around or research it much yet so I'm glad for your suggestions!

Hi, I have had lots of luck in getting Epson and Canon photographic A3 and A3+ paper from e-bay (heaps cheaper too). Have fun with your new toy - Lisa.
