Title: Looking for a good sheet paper for my HP Z3200PS 24"
Post by: kuau on September 14, 2013, 03:40:17 pm

Hi all,
Well as my aging yet still running Z3200PS chugs along, I want to start running sheet paper through it. 24x36 if available..
Print 90% B&W and the rest Color.
I use to run rolls of Canson Platine and Baryta Photographique which I like but I think they only sell up to 17x22 sheets only good for up to 16x20
Canson does sell a Rag Photographique in 24x36 sheets but i have no experience with this paper. Not sure what Hahnemühle theses days have to offer I notice they do sell some 24x30 sheets of some select papers but have no experience with them. Lastly Ilford looks like there biggest sheet is also 17x22.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Steven

There are quite a few papers available in US Arch D (24 x 36 inches):
Canson: Rag Photographique, BFK Rives, Arches Velin Museum, and Arches Aquarelle.
Hahnemühle: Photo Rag. Photo Rag Bright White, and German Etching.
Museo Silver Rag, Portfolio Rag, and Textured Rag.

They are all excellent papers. Just buy sample packs; I can’t see how anyone else can decide for you.

Moab also has some 24 x 36 inch sheets, and Moab and a few others occasionally have A2 paper.
