Title: hp paper
Post by: pulley on January 18, 2009, 10:34:33 am: 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?

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

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

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.
