fine art paper/ink suppliers

[howseth]

Well, I have decided to buy an HP Z3100 printer. I am curious about which large format paper (and ink) suppliers people use?

It seems buying out of state over the internet would save $$. I live in California. (I probably should buy sample packs first, since I do not know much about inkjet fine art papers yet.)

My goals are small editions of 'Fine Art' prints and I am not sure if I will go the matt or glossy route - or something in-between. or, use both glossy and matt papers depending on the photo series.

I like InkJetArt.com. Atlex.com and ITSupplies.com also have good prices if they happen to have the papers you want.

Howard,

I've had excellent service from Jim Doyle at Shades of Paper (www.shadesofpaper.com) and Lexjet (www.lexjet.com), and Diana York at Hawk Mountain Papers (www.hawkmtnartpapers.com).  I often use Atlex for ink (they seem to have consistently low prices).

Shades of Paper is my favorite. Hard to beat Jim's service.

I've had good experiences with ITsupplies as well.
