Title: Suggestions for Poster Paper
Post by: summit68 on May 27, 2014, 12:37:31 pm

Hi-

Looking for suggestions for a poster paper. Epson 7900. Thin, cheap, pearl->luster->glossy, sheets or a roll with really no curl as it is thin. Did I mention inexpensive?

Thanks!

HP every day pigment ink glossy or satin is a good cantidate. It’s pretty inexpensive and produces ok results.

Thanks for the suggestion. I got that from another source as well.

I just received an email offer from one of the usual paper suppliers ( I won't advertise their name here) for a rebate on epson : buy 3 get rebate of one back. That makes epson premium luster almost the same price as HP everyday satin.  That makes Epson $.30/sq. ft. Vs HP at $.25/ft. I think the epson is a nicer paper and more than adequate for "poster" printing. YMMV

Neil-

Thank you for that link, sorry I missed it.

Stuart-

While that is a good price for Epson, 1. I would need to buy three rolls, and 2. I actually don't want a nicer paper. I don't want to cannibalize my fine-art print sales, I want it to look and feel like a poster with a poster price point.

Thanks again.
