Title: Luster Roll Paper Options in ~10 inch size?
Post by: AndrewKelley on August 07, 2016, 12:57:30 am

A fair bit of my art show sales are 8x10 bin prints, for which I've used the Epson 10" premium luster rolls. After happily using Epson Premium Luster for several years, it looks like I'm switching to a Canon printer. (Long story related to head clogs and bad customer service.)  It doesn't appear that Canon has a luster roll paper in a 10" width. (Roll paper is important - I don't have the time or patience to feed 40 or 50 sheets of 8.5x11 through my printer each week.) What are the most popular options these days? Breathing Color has a 10" luster, though presently out of stock. Lexjet has the Sunset paper in that size. Moab and Canson don't appear to have anything smaller than 17".  Or, I suppose, I could continue using Epson paper with a custom profile.  Thoughts/suggestions? 

Thanks,

Andrew

I'd go the custom profile route w/ Epson paper

Or first try settings + profiles of the three Canon papers highlighted in this SpectrumViz screenshot when you use the Epson paper on the Canon printer

Epson, Breathing Color, and Kodak Professional Lustre are good 10" roll options.
