Hi,
I need to print about 650 8"x10" prints on a matte fine art stock. (They're already sold, so I need to do them all quickly.)
The images are just free-standing elements (not full bleed) so they won't use a huge amount of ink.
I don't want to use my 7880 because of the wear and tear (it's five years old) and also I'm thinking it will be a pain to feed all the prints through it, so I'm considering one of two options:
either find a low cost giclée print shop to run these or purchase a 3880 and use the auto feed. (I'd use it for other projects as well.)
I like the 3880 option, but only if it's realistic to use the autofeed. Can anyone recommend a matte stock for color images that comes in an 8x10 size and that runs successfully in the 3880 auto feed? It could have a slight texture (like watercolor paper) or be pretty smooth (like enhanced matte).
Thanks so much!
P.S. I'm attaching some crappy snapshots of the sort of images that I'm printing (they're actually on white backgrounds.)
