Enjoying my new Epson P600, but would like to go wider than A3+. I often shoot landscape in a 1:2 format, sometimes wider, and this means cropping the A3+ down, making for a small print.
I'm looking for a lustre/smooth pearl (or a good semi-gloss) paper for colour and a matt, preferably non-resin coated, lightly textured paper for black and white (like Ilford Fine Art Smooth). I will be selling some of these prints.
The problem is getting good paper in 13 inch rolls, at least here in New Zealand. 17 inch roll paper is much easier to find. Epson Premium Semi-Gloss is available in a 13 inch roll, but I have struggled to find much else.
I have considered buying A2 paper and cutting this down to 13 inch, but A2 is quite a lot more expensive than A3+ (e.g. $89 vs $149 for Ilford Smooth Pearl - NZD) for just an extra 11cm in width.
Another option is to cut 24 inch rolls into 12 inch high. 24 inch rolls are also readily available.
I will buy some Epson Premium Semi-Gloss to see how it goes.
Your suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
