"...On that note I join your thread (No intent to hijack) on the hunt for a hi-gloss paper for dye ink that has the highest standard of durability..."



Dan -

Today I made some prints using Ilford Gallerie High Gloss Smooth on the Canon Pro-100.
Absolutely bullet-proof and perfection.  Instant immediate drying and very robust color and depth.  Seems very tough too.
Perhaps you might give it a try.  Ilford has ICC profiles for most printers right on their site under support.
This could be the paper you're looking for.
I made a test print using the modified Atkinson chart, (Printer Evaluation Image), and everything held up with exacting clarity and faithful reproduction.

I imagine this paper would work perfectly on your Epson 1430 dye printer as well.

Mark,

Absolutely give you all the credit on that one.
After your suggestion I purchased it and fell in love.
Now if only I could find a 24" format printer that takes the 9 dye inkset,similar to Claria.
Jon Cone sells the Dye Thrift but it is weak on longevity.
The CL he sells is only 6 inks with no grays so it is no good for B&W.

Actually, you can !

IF you register a printer, then there is a promo-code that allows an additional 50% off, even on the "buy one, get five" promotion. In effect, you get ... "buy a box at half price, get five".  I had a used MP610 letter size CLI-8 printer I bought on CraigsList a year or so ago, and hadn't registered it yet. That registration resulted in getting a code for the 50% off. If you recently purchased a Pro-100, you're golden!

"Double stacking" of coupons at its finest!

FWIW: I was able to get about $650 USD worth of genuine Canon premium paper for $36, including tax and shipping. (bundle of Luster + Semi-Gloss + Plus-Glossy-II + Pro-Platinum + 13x19"). Almost 700 sheets of letter size paper, at about 3.5¢ a letter size sheet, if I did the math correctly.

First world problem: be intentional about doing a LOT of printing to use it up.

May I ask if any of you having "wide format printers" were able to get the additional 50% discount by Registering a large format printer? I've so far been unsuccessful in getting a Promotion Code by registering my Canon iPF-6400.

Or can anyone supply a link on the Canon website explaining the 50% discount?

Much appreciated!
