Paper to a printer is like tyres to a car

Just tried a couple of paper types on my new iP5200. Have anyone tried this printer?

Anyway, Premium Glossy is the way to go; very good prints. Using Epson & Canon brands; see no difference.

Now I need to sell 3 sets of Economy Glossy. Any takers?

I am still using the IP5200. Tempted to sell it away to make way for the Pro9000 but luckily I didn't. I borrowed the Pro9000 from a friend and after a month of usage, I could not bring myself to fork out another 700 bucks for a dye based ink printer. The IP5200 is more than enough 'everyday' printer for me.

I print mostly on Canon Papers. I wasted a lot of money on other brands but the best results were from the Photo Paper Pro. Very expensive but what the heck, its the results and satisfaction that matters. I have Ilford Matte, Smooth Pearl, Smooth Glossy, Fuji Glossy and Epson Semi Glossy papers at home. Any takers? LOL!
