Paper sample packs

[Stuartkeith]

Hi just wondering what papers you use? Also where can get some sample packs from?

Looking at trying the fine art/cloth type papers but dont want to spend £20 on a pack only to find it dont work!

Ive just got an ip4850 printer.

I bought a sample pack from them (Permajet) at the last Focus on Imaging show at the NEC. You will find other paper supplierswho will do fine art papers as well. You would really need to check if your printer is able to use the types of papers you want to try out, IHTH

I have used Permajet for nearly two years now, mainly Oyster. I recently tried their test packs of both smooth and textured fine art papers. I use a Canon Pro 9000 A3 printer and it will not print in the top or bottom 35mm on any fine art paper, regardless of paper size. So if using A4 this does reduce the printable area somewhat - (297 - 70 = 227mm).

I have recently got another test pack of fibre based baryta but have not had a chance to try them yet. The problem with Permajet test packs is that they are all good! However, postage is quite high, about £6 or so per order. The company is also very helpful if you need any help or advice. If you do try these, don't forget to download the relevant profiles from their website.
