Hi Gary

Q1. What is that paper you swear by (not at) as a standard for the Ep1800? I need to buy some this arvo.

Q2. Is A3+ the same as 16x20 or near enough for government work?

Look forward to your response.

A3+ is 13" x 19". Gary swears by Ilford pearl, I forget which type but you can search for it. :)

Peter - there has been numerous posts on the forum here about what paper is best suited to the R1800. I suggest you do a search.

Peter,
These 3 links may answer your question, looks like the Ilford pearl is a winner, I just bought 25 A4 sheets for $30 at Borge in Crows Nest at the weekend.
Now to select an image worthy of this paper!

You will find that the Epson profiles work well with Ilford stock.........

I've been at meetings all afternoon, but it would seem that your questions have all been answered. :)
