As the title says, for the DCers that print their own photos what type of paper do you prefer and recommend? I've been helping my father finish our basement and we now have a bunch of sheetrocked walls. I plan on sprucing it up a bit by printing some of my "better" photos and framing them. Mainly 8x10s. Anyway I went to Staples a couple weeks back and immediately picked up some Fuji Premium Plus Photo paper (glossy), free after rebate :jump .
When I printed out my picture(lake shot), it was eaten by reflections in my basement, mainly from the fluroscent lights. My friend's father who is like an Autopian in photography, gave me some sample papers (glossy, semi-glossy, matte) to play around with. I wanted to talk to him more on it, but he was in a rush. After reading a little bit online and taking a ride to Staples I smoked my brains in all the brands/types of photo paper :crazy .
I'm looking for a high quality, consumer photo paper. Nothing to crazy, my camera isn't insane(FinePix S5100) neither is my photo printer (HP Photosmart 7450). I'm thinking the Kodak Ultima Satin photo paper is my best bet for my application. Just curious as to what some of you DCers use??
