I have a z2100 and am looking for a reasonably priced satin / lustre paper that I will be using for posters. I see HP has a line of "everyday" gloss and satin papers. Has anyone used the satin? Any reviews?

also look into RedRiver and/or inkjetart micro-ceramic papers

HP Premium Instant Dry Satin works really well for my poster prints. Nice Gamut, colour is good, soft sheen, easy to handle without leaving marks. I usually cold-moun t onto 3/8 MDF, and the price is good. Peter

What type of adhesive do you use? 3m 77?

the RedRiver satin is very nice and less specular than the Lustre types. The Artic is quite bright white vs. their cheaper satin or the warmtone Polar Satin.

the inkjetart uCeramic is much less $$$ but I've never tried it.

I believe the HP Everyday Paper has replaced the HP ID Satin. I have printed on both and the Everyday Paper pretty much looks identical to ID Satin. Nice colour from my Z3100

Yes it is similar but is thinner and the gamut isn't as big I think....price is great though if you can live with the things I mentioned.
I do wish HP didn't watermark their papers!

I use Kodak Premium Rapid Dry Lustre & gloss with my Z3100 with excellant results. The paper is heavier than HP's version so doesn't crease as easily. Cost is reasonable from IT Supplies.

Thanks to all that replied. I'm going to order the Hp satin and will eventually try the other paper suggestions.
