Paper For Printing Calenders

Postby NikonUser on Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:25 pm

Hi there,

I currently own and use an Epson R800 photo printer. I've only ever used the Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper...

However I'd like to make a photo calander.... The Epson paper would pose two problems... 1) It's too thick and not flexible enough 2) you can only print on one side

Can anyone tell me what sort of paper would be suitable? Something similar to the paper they use on most wall calanders would be perfect.

Also where can I get this paper from?

Thanks in advance.

I've never used it, but there's a double sided version of the epson photo paper.

I've spotted it at OfficeJerks. I think Canon has a similar product as well.

edit: bp just beat me :)

Thanks for that.

I asked at Harvey Norman and they said no such thing existed... Good to see sales people who know their stuff!!

I'll look into that one. Looks a little on the heavy side but will have to find some in person to take a squiz.

...On the epson site you linked it doesn't list the R800 under the compatible printers list... there are other 'R' printers there though...

Would that matter?
