Can someone please recommend a good, general purpose roll stock (44" or close) paper for photo post cards? Or would there be an issue with excessive curl using roll stock? Probably a gloss would look nice. I have the Epson Premium Glossy Photo paper which is nice but not heavy/thick enough. Thanks. - Jim

I've used Hahnemuehle Baryta FB with nice effects:

Check also innova. They have some fine thick papers.

Thank you! I'll check them out.

My experience of making small prints on roll paper is that the curl is very difficult to remove. This is fine if the print is to be framed, but I'd most certainly print from sheets if making postcards.
Yes, even with the Z3200 ;)

The curl is very easy to remove when you heat up the paper.
Printing from sheets is a real PITA, no matter what LFP.

I have a heated vacuum press to deal with the curl. Sheet feed just doesn't sound like much fun! Also, I have an eight foot out-feed table with cutting mat for the prints to feed out of the printer onto. I can actually cut the stock to size while the printer continues printing. I do this for canvas when I have large orders to fill. Thanks to all for your input and help.
